About This Access Site
Decker-Hill Park is a Panola County-maintained boat ramp providing access to Lake Murvaul, a scenic impoundment on Murvaul Creek in the Sabine River basin. Located three miles south of Clayton and approximately ten miles southwest of Carthage, this access point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The park offers essential amenities including restroom facilities and picnic areas, making it a convenient launching spot for a day on the water.
Lake Murvaul is well-suited for paddling and boating, with a good reputation among water recreationists. Note that while Decker-Hill Park is a primary access point, the Panola County Fresh Water District maintains four improved boat ramps in the area total. **Access may require checking in for a free pass at the Lake Murvaul Marina on the opposite side of the lake.** The park sits at approximately 269 feet elevation and sees regular use for fishing, camping, and water recreation year-round, so expect moderate activity levels during peak seasons.
