Rock Creek Marina, located at 1464 Rock Creek Blvd in Gordonville, TX (903-523-5353), is a full-service marina on the Texas side of Lake Texoma offering hourly, half-day, and full-day boat rentals, guided fishing trips, kayak, paddleboard, and bike rentals, a fuel dock with courtesy slips, and a well-stocked ship store. For homebuyers, a marina like this is more than a place to launch a boat — it's proof that Gordonville delivers the kind of easy, everyday lake access that draws most buyers to Texoma in the first place, without the price premium of a resort-town address.

What Rock Creek Marina Offers
Rock Creek Marina sits on a protected cove off the main body of Lake Texoma, giving boaters calmer water for launching and docking than some of the more exposed marinas near the dam. Public marina listings for the property describe more than 130 floating boat slips, a swim beach, fishing docks, RV and camp sites, horseshoe pits, and beach volleyball, alongside the marina store and fuel dock — a broad enough footprint that it functions as a small recreation hub for this stretch of shoreline, not just a fuel-and-slip stop.
Boat Rentals: Hourly, Half-Day & Full-Day
For visitors and residents who don't own a boat, or who want to try before they buy, Rock Creek Marina rents boats by the hour, half-day, and full day. That flexibility matters for prospective Gordonville buyers who want to test out life on the water — touring coves, checking wind patterns near a lot they're considering, or simply spending a Saturday on the lake — before committing to boat ownership or a waterfront purchase.
Fuel Dock & Courtesy Slips
A fuel dock with courtesy slips lets boaters pull up, gas up, and tie off temporarily without needing a rented slip, which is a convenience that matters a great deal on a lake where the nearest fuel can otherwise be a long idle back to the ramp. For homeowners who keep a boat in the water all season, having a reliable, nearby fuel dock is one of the quieter but more important quality-of-life factors in choosing where on Lake Texoma to buy.
Guided Fishing Trips
Lake Texoma is nationally known for striped bass, and marinas like Rock Creek that offer guided fishing trips give both visitors and new residents a fast, low-risk way to learn the lake's fishing patterns from someone who runs it daily. That's a genuine perk for buyers relocating from outside the area who want to get on productive water quickly rather than spending a season learning it themselves.
Kayak, Paddleboard & Bike Rentals
Not every day on the lake calls for a motorboat. Kayak, paddleboard, and bike rentals round out Rock Creek Marina's offerings, making it a workable home base for a broader range of activities and a wider range of ages — useful for families weighing whether a Gordonville-area property fits their lifestyle beyond just boating.
The Ship Store
The onsite ship store carries the everyday essentials boaters need — ice, drinks, snacks, tackle, and boating supplies — so a day on the water doesn't require a separate trip into town first. As with any lake business, seasonal hours and specific rental inventory can shift, so we'd encourage anyone planning a visit to call ahead and confirm current services, especially since the marina has historically operated Wednesday through Sunday rather than seven days a week.
Gordonville, TX Real Estate: Market & Lifestyle Overview
Gordonville itself is a small, unincorporated lake community in Grayson County, TX, and that status is part of its appeal. Buyers looking at Gordonville TX real estate are typically choosing a quieter, less built-up alternative to the larger lake towns, while still landing within a short drive of full-service amenities in Sherman, TX. The area's housing stock ranges from modest lake cottages and manufactured homes to larger waterfront and near-waterfront custom builds, which means the market here can serve first-time lake buyers, retirees downsizing to a simpler pace, and move-up buyers building a dream weekend or full-time home, often within the same few square miles. Because Grayson County carries no state income tax and generally lower property tax burdens than many buyers are used to relocating from, Gordonville TX homes for sale frequently draw serious interest from out-of-state retirees and remote workers who've done the math on cost of living alongside lifestyle.
Proximity to Other Lake Texoma Amenities
Gordonville's location puts residents within a reasonable drive of the rest of the lake's recreation and services. Grayson County's stretch of shoreline includes multiple other marinas, public parks, and boat ramps beyond Rock Creek, and Sherman, TX supplies the grocery stores, hospitals, schools, and big-box retail that a purely lakefront community can't. For buyers who want to understand the fuller texture of what's around them — from quirky facts to lesser-known coves and communities — our earlier pieces on 12 Things You Didn't Know About Lake Texoma and Beyond the City Limits: Lake Texoma's Secret TX & OK Communities are good next reads. Both help fill in the picture of just how much variety exists across the lake's Texas and Oklahoma shorelines, well beyond any single marina or town.
What Buyers Considering Property Near Rock Creek Marina Should Know
A few practical points matter for anyone weighing a purchase near Rock Creek Marina or elsewhere in Gordonville. First, confirm flood zone status and any applicable Army Corps of Engineers setback or lease requirements before buying near the shoreline, since much of the land bordering Lake Texoma is federally managed and comes with its own rules around docks, boathouses, and construction. Second, water levels on Texoma can fluctuate seasonally, which affects how usable a private boat ramp or dock may be at different times of year — something worth observing in person rather than assuming from listing photos alone. Third, because marinas are small businesses whose hours, rental fleets, and services can change from season to season, it's smart to call ahead before planning a trip around any specific amenity, including the ones listed here for Rock Creek Marina. Finally, working with an agent who knows the Gordonville shoreline, its access points, and its Grayson County regulations closely can save buyers real time and money compared to going it alone in an area this specialized.
