Cassels-Boykin County Park

Cassels-Boykin County Park sits in the mid-lake area of Lake Sam Rayburn in Angelina County, Texas, about 35 minutes from Lufkin. The park is known as one of the best spots in Texas for largemouth bass fishing, with flooded timber, lily pads, and channels drawing anglers to prime areas like the Black Forest, Canyons, and Atoyac River. At the heart of the park is the Bill and Emily Shelton Pavilion, a 100-foot-diameter facility with rustic rock and log architecture overlooking the lake. Built to accommodate bass tournaments, the pavilion doubles as a venue for weddings, reunions, and parties, seating up to 400 guests. It includes modern restroom facilities and a bridal party dressing room, and the pavilion has previously hosted BASS Elite Series and FLW Tour events. The park also offers 16 campsites with water, sewer, and electrical hookups, WiFi access, a handicap-accessible fishing pier, and a 6.9-mile mountain bike trail, making it a destination for both event guests and outdoor recreation.
