About This Access Site
C-K Rentals provides boat ramp access to Avish Bayou on Sam Rayburn Reservoir, a massive 114,000-acre lake in the piney woods of southeast Texas. This access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the scenic waters of the Big Thicket region. The reservoir offers year-round paddling opportunities, though water levels may fluctuate seasonally—it's wise to call ahead to confirm ramp conditions before your visit.
