The Highway 111 boat ramp provides access to Lake Texana, a 11,000+ acre reservoir on the Lavaca River created by Palmetto Bend Dam. Located approximately 2 miles east of Edna in Jackson County, the ramp is free to use, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers and canoeists exploring the lake. The site is easily accessed by taking Texas Highway 111 east from Edna and turning right onto FM 3131.
The area offers more than just boat access—Texana Park features fishing piers, hiking trails, playgrounds, and additional recreational facilities. Paddlers should note that while the boat ramp itself is free, a fee is charged to enter the adjacent recreation area. The lake's expansive water surface makes it suitable for various water activities, and the surrounding park infrastructure provides amenities for day-use visits. This is an ideal access point for those looking to paddle a large, calm-water reservoir rather than river conditions.
