Cassells-Boykin Park provides convenient access to Sam Rayburn Reservoir via boat ramp, making it a practical launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The facility features 100 parking spaces, an 80-foot handicapped-accessible courtesy pier, improved lighting and signage, and amenities including toilets, picnic tables, and a dump station. An on-site pavilion (Bill and Emily Shelton Pavilion) is also available for group use.
Located within Angelina National Forest in Angelina County, this heavily wooded access area attracts migratory birds and waterfowl, offering scenic paddling opportunities. The reservoir itself has multiple access points—22 maintained areas are distributed around Sam Rayburn—so paddlers can plan loop trips or explore different sections. This is a non-reservable, day-use facility suitable for both launching and supporting extended time on the water.
