About
Sportsman's Cove Special Event Area is located in the old Mallard Bay/Intake Hill area on Wright Patman Lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This facility is specifically designed to accommodate large-scale special events and fishing tournaments rather than traditional camping. The centerpiece is a 60' x 60' pavilion equipped with lights and electrical outlets, accompanied by 10 picnic tables and a grill.
The facility includes a restroom building with showers and air conditioning, providing comfort for event participants. A parking lot and boat ramp offer convenient lake access for tournament anglers and event attendees. The park is situated in a mixed hardwood-pine forest environment next to Wright Patman Lake, where bass, catfish, crappie, and sunfish provide excellent fishing opportunities.
Reservations require contacting the Wright Patman Lake office at least two weeks prior to events. The area is accessible from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Wright Patman Lake is located in the beautiful piney woods of northeast Texas, with approximately 30,000 surface acres of water surrounded by 55,000 acres of public forestland managed by the Corps of Engineers.
