Wright Patman is more than boat ramps: there's hiking in the pines

Wright Patman Lake is not only boat ramps and campgrounds. Developed trails sit inside Clear Springs Park, Rocky Point Park, Piney Point Park, and Malden Lake Park.

Those trails stay within the developed park areas. There are no other developed trails outside the campgrounds for day users, and visitors need to pay the entrance fee at each park.

That is still enough to turn a lake trip into a Piney Woods walk. Trail access follows park access, so the lake office is useful after rain or during seasonal changes.
