New SRA park at Fork

Here’s some great photos of it since a lot of people have asked.

Very Nice. Thanks for sharing.

It only took 40+ years to get a facility suitable for Fork built, not bad.

Yes...very nice place! They did good on that one!

Place looks very nice

Very nice.

Very nice boat ramps and park. Good job

Will the park be open 24/7 ? And open to the public ?

Its been open for a little while now to the public and Im quessing its open 24/7. Theres no gates and no pay boxes.

That's one nice ramp / setup. We should be proud to have that at one of our lakes.

I got to see it for the first time yesterday and it is awesome. I'll probably launch from there when the weather allows it. I wasn't exactly sure where it was but had been following the construction of it as it progressed.

Truly looks like a first class boat ramp.

Will Sealys ,Legends and the rest of the big tournaments now use this park ?

Was there any sort of vendor area set up around the weigh in? I dont see anything in the photos, but thought i may drive over on Sunday for the weigh in depending on what all they have there.

I can update you tomorrow, going over about noon.

Thanks Hop!

looks like there are some vendors.

Wow! That’s nice! Where is it located? I have seen the recreation area on 155, but this is 100 times bigger and better! I do outside sales, and I drive through there often. Anybody have cross-roads coordinates?

Thanks!

Look on the maps due south of the rec area on 154. It is on the Caney Penninsula; turn off is fairly close to the boat storage.

Thanks, sirs! I will check that out next time I’m through there. Really appreciate the quick responses!

the road is just south of the gateway bar n grill, great burgers there.

Hop, find the service yard if you want to and say hello to my dad Darrell at the Garmin trailer. I think you met him at 407 once, the trailer isn’t wrapped but just ask anyone in the service yard where it’s at.

found him, no one has cell signal there for some reason.

Yes, several food vendors, a couple plastics vendors, sunglasses, cedar outdoor furniture, some other stuff and all the various fishing vendors.

Is it going to be free or a fee to launch?

It's a free ramp, like all the other SRA ramps.

Tons of area to beach and step on grass.

When John Crews weighed in he said the road to the park of FM 154 was " the best road in all of Texas".

He said you came by and were a nice guy, but he says that about everyone that doesn’t need their boat worked on or want something free lol.

Did they clear any stumps or still need to idle to get to the buoys?

he seemed pretty chill, figured I'd hit him up for the free stuff next time.

They cleared a boat lane. That one and 1 other are shown on the newer boat lanes chips. About using at night: I didn’t look to see if there are any cameras, if there are not I would be hesitant to use it at night, tucked back into the woods makes it a good target for bad guys.

Be a great venue for the classic if BASS could get past being stuck in their old ways.

Where you gonna have the Expo? What about enough lodging?

Minnow Bucket has free pizza!

How far back to dfw area for a suitable expo location? It’s a full 2 hour drive for the Grand expo.

I also don't this BASS will ever move away from the traditional al weigh in format for more than an event per season.

WE ARE FISHERMEN! DAMNIT! BRING A TENT!

or commute, whatever works.

The new SRA facility at Lake Tawakoni is very nice as well. Used it yesterday for TTO

seeing one hundred $100,000 boats in one small cove was something else

Worth about the same as 2 Hydra Sport 65 Estrella's. Bass boats are peanuts compared to saltwater rigs.

You can see that at pretty much any crowded ramp/lake these days.
