Small boat ramp facility with adjacent unpaved parking area and minimal docks along a coastal bay, no vehicles present.
Sam Wahl Recreation Area is situated in Garza County, Texas, along the shores of Lake Alan Henry, a man-made reservoir formed by damming the Colorado River in the arid plains of West Texas. This marina serves recreational boating on the lake's freshwater inland waters, accommodating activities such as sailing and fishing in a rural, secluded environment.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
