Salt Fork Campground

Salt Fork Campground offers a public boat launch providing access to the Salt Fork Red River in the Texas Panhandle near Howardwick. Located in Donley County, this ramp serves as a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the Salt Fork Red River system. The campground itself provides on-site facilities including tent and RV camping options, making it an ideal base for multi-day paddling trips.

To reach the ramp, take Exit 124 from I-40 west of the town, then head south on TX 70 for approximately 10.9 miles and follow signage to the public boat ramp. The area offers a scenic backdrop typical of the Great Plains, with opportunities to observe local wildlife. Boaters should note that combined speed/ski zones are marked by buoys in the broader water system, so be aware of other water traffic. The campground's facilities, including parking and camping amenities, make this an accessible launch point for paddling adventures on the Salt Fork Red River.
