The name of the body of water is "Lake Ray Roberts", while the name of the park is Ray Roberts Lake State Park, both bearing the name of the Texas congressman who succeeded Sam Rayburn and who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1962 to 1981. There are a few details about the Pond Creek Unit here. (visit link)

As of this posting, the entrance fee is $7 for each person 13 years and older: If you fish a lot or have a group, you might consider an annual state parks pass, which pays for itself quickly. There is no ranger station, and you'll square up with the self-pay station between the parking lot and the boat ramp. While annual pass holders have a placard for their rear view mirror, wording on the paperwork at the the self-pay station suggests that it might be a good idea to fill it out anyways. Do be aware that the police patrol the area, looking for scofflaws.

There are no posted hours, but the parking lot is lit after dusk. When in doubt, check with the folks over at the Isle du Bois or Johnson Branch Units, or call the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department at 940-686-2148. Otherwise, you may visit any day of the year, even on holidays.

There are two lanes with a small boarding pier which is clearly labeled that fishing there is a no-no: Save it for once you're away. Facilities are fairly primitive, with a single pit toilet off of the parking lot, which can handle up to 75 vehicles.
