About This Access Site
**Overview**
Sparrow Lane provides public boat ramp access to Sixmile Creek on the south end of Toledo Bend Reservoir near Hemphill, Texas. Located within Sabine National Forest, this is a free-to-use facility with a two-lane boat ramp suitable for various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. No fees are required to launch.
**Facilities & Practical Information**
The ramp accommodates all boat types and is maintained as a public access point by the Sabine River Authority of Texas. However, facilities are basic—there are no courtesy docks available at this location. Paddlers should come prepared and note that amenities may be limited. The site works well for launching into the broader Toledo Bend Reservoir system, making it a convenient starting point for exploration of the reservoir's southern reaches.
**Best For**
This access point is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking for reservoir paddling rather than river current, as Toledo Bend is an impoundment offering calmer, wider-water conditions than upstream creek sections.
