Alright you guys talked to me into trying ray Roberts. I have always stayed away because of all the trees I saw when they built it. Guessing the dam is pretty safe place for no trees?

Johnson Branch is good depending on the wind. The dam, party cove and Johnson Branch are all close from the Isle Du Bois boat ramp.

We’ll be in Lewisville Saturday until mid afternoon. Since we mostly have a south wind, 95% of the time we are on the Poindexter branch west of 35. The other 5% would be at the dam.

Sounds like he needs to buy a house there!

When does the water start cooling off? I would like a short trip up there before the season ends.

Current water temp is 84. Last year we were still in the water mid October at Ouachita water in the low 70s at that point. You really need to get up there. We will be up there again this year. We have been slowing looking for a place up there!

I pay $5.00 and put in at the Ray Roberts Marina since my boat is kept in dry storage East of the dam. It has ample parking and it always protected from the wind, only problem is there is no courtesy dock, so you have to put the boat in, go park and get picked up at the Marina. Nice triple wide ramp has lights there to be able to boat the boat on and like I said its never windy there because it is tucked back in around from the covered slips.

We are camping at Johnson Branch with 4 other families Saturday night so we will be out Saturday and Sunday...could be one of the last weekends of the year for us warm water boaters.

Thanks! Last weekend? No way. I was out last year the week after Thanksgiving. Now if it does not rain soon that's another story.

We put in at Isle Du Bois close to everything and 5 ramps.
$7/person at Johnson Branch or Isle Du Bois state parks. State park pass gets everyone in the truck in. We also mountain bike ride at several state parks so we buy the pass. They are $70 or $90 for 2. I think the boat ramp next to the marina is free but as I haven't used it I'm not positive.

The boat ramp just past the marina is free, but with the predominant South winds it gets rough and windy over there in a hurry.
