East Texas Swimming Hole Guide
Martin Dies Jr. State Park
Dam B / Steinhagen Lake offers a great deal of aquatic recreation with plenty of access.
The Neches and Angelina Rivers meet here creating a rich ecosystem full of big bass, gar, catfish, and alligators.
Martin Dies Jr. State Park is one of the popular parks serving the area.
Many East Texas families have been returning to the park year after year. The park hosts weddings, family reunions, and lots of church groups and field trips.
When the temperature climbs into the 90s and beyond, you’ll find everyone down at the swimming area.
A wide range of Dam B camping options are available. These include tent camping sites, RV hook ups, and rental cabins.
Our favorite Dam B campsites are only accessible by boat and run along the river. They are ideal for sportsmen interested in a combo hunting and fishing trip.
Dam B is a great place to hunt wood ducks and teal in the morning, catch big bass during the day, stalk big woods deer in the evening, and to run trot lines at night.
