Shawnee Creek Boat Ramp provides public access to the Angelina River on U. S. Forest Service land, serving as the primary river access point on the Nacogdoches side of the river.

The ramp has experienced significant deterioration with safety concerns, including gaping holes that have caused accidents.

Day-use only regulations are in effect; camping, alcohol, and glass containers are prohibited, and access after sunset is not permitted except for those exiting the river.
