Lake Fork... Where to stay? Boat slip?

For the past 25 years, my dad, 2 friends, and their dad, all go on a Fall fishing trip. We typically go to Toledo Bend or Sam Rayburn; however, we are staying a little closer to home this year. We are going to fish Lake Fork -- then maybe pop over to Sandlin or Monticello for a day.

Question: what is a good place to stay on the east side of Lake Fork? And are there any places that have a boat slip, so we can keep our boat in the water at night?

Thanks in advance.

Lake Fork Marina

You're a guide. You're supposed to know east side from west, Skeeter.

Oak Ridge Marina.. and a great place to eat

Stay at Reagans right near Sandlin State Park in their trailers.

You will have Monty, Sandlin, Cypress at your door.....

There is not a place to stay on east side with a boat slip to use. Lake fork marina is on the west side but fork is not that big of a lake and does not take long to run to east side from Lfm. Can't beat the accommodations there either.

LFM or Oak Ridge are best options. I prefer the food at Oak Ridge.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check back in late October to see how the fishing is going. We will be fishing the first week of November.

I don't know of any slips on east side..

The wife and I just stayed at Lake Fork Marina last night. Never been there before and was very well pleased. Good restaurant right there on the place and they have boat slips (by reservation). We were in an RV spot so I can't tell you about the motel rooms but the way everything else looked, I bet they are clean.

Only place I know of on Fork with boat slips is Lake Fork Marina. Nice folks & good food.

I like Oak Ridge too but no slips.

Popes has slips, again not on the east side,
If I had to leave my boat in a slip I'd use LFM.

Fishermens cove Marina in Williams creek , has slips and easy to run out of when it's dark, I've memorized so good when it's still dark in the morning I don't need a spotlight to run out of it.

Popes on the west side

Call Popes Landing. They have cabins, regular rooms, a store, and boat slips.

Pope's has some beautiful waterfront cabins and they are affordable! www.popeslanding.com

MUSTANG RESORT NICE AND HAS RAMP

MY BAD YOU SAID BOAT SLIP

you might have hard enough time keeping your stuff by your room much less a boat slip

We rented a slip at Oak Ridge last year... have they closed them down? If not, that's an option on the east side of Fork like the OP requested.

Once upon a time, Oak Ridge had 20+ boat slips. Then a tornado took out all but 8 of them. We've had 8 slips for at least the past five years that we've been here.


No. We currently have 6 slips available with the other two under repair.
Boat slips are available on a first-come, first-serve basis to guests that are staying at Oak Ridge.

To the best of my knowledge, here are the places to stay on Lake Fork that have boat slips available:

East side:
- Oak Ridge Marina

West side:
- LFM
- Pope's Landing
- Fisherman's Cove

OOps! Sorry Barry. I do apologize. I did not realize you guys still had slips. I remember that tornado. It took Brady Marine off its foundation!

It's been some years now, but I spent a week at a Bed and Breakfast--I think it was called Lake Fork Lodge--and I kept my boat in their very nice slip. Another west side locale.

Anywhere but Oak Ridge.
