Mary King Park

Mary King Park offers a well-maintained boat ramp on the south shore of Lake Cypress Springs at mid-lake, making it a convenient access point for paddlers and boaters of all types. The ramp accommodates vessels of all sizes and serves as the primary public launch for exploring both the lake and Big Cypress Creek. The facility includes a parking area, restroom facilities, picnic area, and camping sites, providing a comfortable base for day trips or extended outings.

Lake Cypress Springs is a shallow, vegetation-rich impoundment on Big Cypress Creek, so boaters should be prepared for navigational challenges, especially in less-developed areas where aquatic vegetation remains dense. Kayakers and canoeists will find good paddling opportunities, particularly in the cleared lake basin, though awareness of shallow spots is recommended. The location in Franklin County, Texas makes this an accessible destination for those exploring the Big Cypress Creek system.
