Ray Roberts Lake State Park is a 3,777 acres (1,528ha) state park located in Denton County, Texas, United States near Pilot Point, Texas.[2] The park is divided into nine units: three are developed (Johnson Branch, Isle du Bois, and the Greenbelt), and six have boat ramps with lake access (Buck Creek, Jordan, Sanger, Pond Creek, Elm Fork, and Pecan Creek).[3] It is named for Herbert Ray Roberts an American Democratic politician who represented Texas's 4th congressional district from 1962 to 1981. The park is very popular due to its proximity to the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and was the most visited Texas state park in 2025.[1]
History
Humans have inhabited the Isle du Bois region for over 11,000 years. Native American tribes such as the Kiowa and the Comanche lived in the area around the 1500s. Settlers arrived in the mid-19th century, driving out most Native Americans. The ruins of a 19th century homestead can be found in the Isle du Bois unit of the park.[2]
