Highway 7 Bridge

The Highway 7 Bridge boat ramp provides convenient public access to the Angelina River in Nacogdoches. This Texas Parks & Wildlife Department facility serves as a good launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this section of the river. The site is located directly at the Highway 7 crossing, making it easily accessible from the city.

The Angelina River in this area supports a variety of recreational opportunities, including fishing for bass, catfish, and crappie. Paddlers should note that additional public shoreline access is available both north of the US 59 crossing (600 feet) and at that crossing itself (500 feet), offering alternate put-in or take-out options. The area also provides proximity to national forests and grasslands in Texas for those interested in combining water-based recreation with other outdoor activities.

Before visiting, paddlers are encouraged to check current water conditions and any seasonal access updates through Texas Parks & Wildlife. The site's exact amenities and current maintenance status can be confirmed by contacting local TPWD offices in Nacogdoches County.
