Fort Sherman Dam #1 is a two-lane concrete boat ramp located on the northwest side of Lake Bob Sandlin near Mount Pleasant, Texas. The ramp sits adjacent to the Titus County Freshwater Supply District office and is accessed via FM 3417 west from Texas 271. This is a public access point ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the 9,400-acre reservoir.
Lake Bob Sandlin (also called Fort Sherman Dam or Cherokee Trail Lake) is a scenic impoundment on Big Cypress Creek, offering calm water conditions suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. The lake supports recreational opportunities including fishing, swimming, and picnicking. Parking is available at the ramp, and nearby facilities include hiking and biking trails. The ramp's two-lane design allows for multiple simultaneous launches, making it a convenient choice when the mid-lake Highway 21 ramp is busy.
