About This Access Site
The US190 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Sabine River near Bon Wier in Newton County, Texas. This is a major river system—the Sabine ranks as a Stream Order 8 waterway with significant flow averaging over 9,100 cubic feet per second. The river in this area has a gentle gradient of approximately 0.8 feet per mile, making it generally suitable for paddlers, though current speeds average around 6 feet per second, which paddlers should account for when planning trips.
From this access point near Bon Wier, paddlers can explore multiple stretches of the lower Sabine River or connect to nearby paddling options. McFaddin Landing (accessible via CR 438) provides an alternate take-out point downstream, offering flexibility for trip planning. Before paddling, check current water conditions and flow rates, as the Sabine's substantial drainage area (9,577 square miles) means water levels can fluctuate significantly with regional rainfall. Contact the Sabine River Authority for information about ramp conditions, parking, and any access fees or seasonal restrictions.
