About North Shore

Discover North Shore Park, the crown jewel of Wright Patman Lake's day-use destinations. This expansive lakeside retreat beckons families and outdoor enthusiasts with its inviting sandy beach, fully accessible boat launch, and convenient group shelter, all nestled within the fragrant embrace of East Texas pine forests.
Day-use park with picnic and beach facilities; no on-site overnight camping offered.
Natural Features and SceneryTowering pines frame stunning vistas of Wright Patman Lake's shimmering waters, where sandy shores meet the forest's edge in perfect harmony. The surrounding Corps of Engineers forestland creates a living sanctuary where white-tailed deer browse quietly among the trees, wild turkeys strut through dappled sunlight, and bobwhite quail call from the underbrush. Watch for the majestic silhouettes of bald eagles and pelicans during migration season, when these remarkable birds transform the sky into a natural spectacle. Whether you're casting a line from the shore or simply soaking in the peaceful woodland atmosphere, the park's diverse wildlife adds an element of wonder to every visit.
Geological RegionNestled in the legendary piney woods of northeast Texas, North Shore Park showcases the region's distinctive sandy shoreline habitat where ancient forest ecosystems meet the engineered beauty of Wright Patman Lake.
