Brier Creek

Brier Creek provides boat ramp access to Lake Texoma, one of the largest U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs and a major recreation destination in the cross-timbers region of Oklahoma. Located near Kingston in Marshall County, this site offers launch facilities for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the expansive 89,000+ square-mile drainage system of the Red River.
