The Wisteria Road boat ramp provides direct access to Big Cypress Bayou and Lake O' the Pines in Marion County, Texas. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to access the lake's calm waters. To reach the ramp from Lone Star, take US 259 south and turn left on FM 729 before the bridge at Big Cypress Creek; the road to the ramp is approximately 1 mile south of this intersection.
Lake O' the Pines offers expansive paddling and boating opportunities, encompassing about 18,700 acres of water surrounded by the piney woods of Northeast Texas. The Big Cypress Bayou access is ideal for those seeking quieter coves and scenic paddling. Two reservable campgrounds—Alley Creek Camp and Johnson Creek Camp—are located within 10 miles, making this a good spot for multi-day paddling trips. Nearby Big Cypress Marina also offers additional amenities and services for boaters on the south end of the lake.
