Ray Roberts has public hunting land, but the map changes each season

TPWD manages Ray Roberts Public Hunting Lands as Unit 501 under an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The current map describes a 40,850-acre unit across Denton, Cooke, and Grayson counties, including lake surface, uplands, wetlands, and flooded timber. To hunt, carry a current APH permit, Texas hunting license, and any endorsement your game requires.

Use a designated access point or boat ramp, and stay at least 100 yards from state park boundaries while hunting. The northwest sanctuary is closed to waterfowl hunting. The current Unit 501 map controls the open areas, legal game, dates, and methods.
