Get unlimited park access to enjoy our beach activities and amenities, plus 50 minutes on the 8,000 square foot pulse-pounding Challenge Course! Your session on ArkLaTex’s only floating challenge course will excite and thrill the adventure seeker in you!
Once you have conquered the course, you’re free to spend the rest of your day enjoying our resort-style setting, relaxing alongside the beautiful Ellison Creek Reservoir (aka Lone Star Lake) or take advantage of our additional features including our zero gravity lounge chairs, food court, beach games, and more. A day of smiles guaranteed!

There you will find sandy beaches, zero gravity loungers, floating picnic tables, beach games, umbrellas, 4,000 square foot observation deck with a bar, a food court provided by Rabbit Hole, Too, and more! Make sure to bring your towel and sun screen. Water shoes are recommended.
Of course, we are always willing to help you celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or any other celebration. Contact us for special group rates at info@rockypointlonestar. com or 903-916-1469. Rocky Point Adventures is locally owned and family operated in Lone Star, Texas, by James and Ginger Smith. “We are investing in our community, our youth, and helping families have an option for activities close to home” Ginger says. “We live in a fabulous community with amazing businesses. Maybe we can all work together to make our little triangle a vacation/shopping/dining destination.”
On June 12, we will be hosting the first annual Empowerment Triathlon. This event will take bicyclists from Lone Star through Hughes Springs and Daingerfield then back to Lone Star. They will then kayak twice around the park and end with two rounds of the Challenge Course. Sponsorships and entry fees will be donated to Grace Ministries Counseling Fund to help people in our area with financial barriers to mental health counseling.
Check our website www.rockypointlonestar.com for other upcoming events.
