FM 2703

Located near Shelbyville in Shelby County, the FM 2703 access point provides year-round boat ramp access to the northern end of Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Sabine River. This site offers basic amenities including a boat ramp and parking, with primitive tent camping available. The facility is a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this major reservoir.

Toledo Bend Reservoir sits on the Sabine River, a substantial waterway with a drainage area of nearly 9,600 square miles and an average flow of over 9,100 cubic feet per second. The reservoir's northern location means paddlers can expect a relatively slow-moving impoundment environment rather than river current. The moderate gradient of the Sabine River (0.8 ft/mile average) contributes to stable water conditions suitable for recreational paddling when reservoir levels are normal.

Before visiting, check current conditions and water levels with the Sabine River Authority of Texas, as reservoir conditions can vary seasonally. Additional boat ramp facilities are available at nearby Haley's Ferry and along Highway 21 in Sabine County, providing alternative access options if needed.
