The FM 2799 boat ramp at Bevilport is an excellent put-in point for paddlers exploring the Angelina River in Jasper County. Located near the historic river port community of Bevilport, this ramp is noted for its good condition and strong accessibility for canoes and kayaks. The site includes basic amenities and provides easy water access to paddle downstream on the sluggish, gentle Angelina River.
From this put-in, paddlers can extend their trips significantly by floating downstream approximately 7 miles to B.A. Steinhagen Lake, making this an ideal starting point for day trips or longer float adventures. The slow-moving river section is suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. For those seeking overnight options, Campers Cove campground is available within 10 miles, and the area offers access to the scenic Big Thicket region with its unique flora and wildlife.
To reach the ramp from Jasper, take FM 2799 west for almost 10 miles until it ends at the Angelina River. A popular take-out option is the Walnut Boat Ramp inside Martin Dies, Jr. State Park, which allows for multi-segment paddling trips on this historic waterway.
