**Location & Access**
Terry Street provides boat ramp access to Ellison Creek Reservoir (also known as Lone Star Lake), located approximately 8 miles south of Daingerfield in Morris County. To reach the ramp, take US 259 south from Lone Star and turn left on FM 729 before the bridge at Big Cypress Creek; the ramp entrance is about 1 mile south of this intersection.
**Facility Overview**
This is a public boat launch serving Ellison Creek Reservoir, a popular destination for recreational paddling and boating. The reservoir sits on Ellison Creek (also known as Brutons Creek), a tributary of Big Cypress Creek. The ramp provides convenient access to the main basin area of the reservoir, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters launching in the region.
**Practical Notes**
Before visiting, contact local authorities or check current conditions, as the reservoir is owned and operated by Lone Star Steel Company (now U.S. Steel). Water levels and access policies may vary seasonally, so it's recommended to verify current conditions and any applicable fees or restrictions prior to your trip.
