JOHNSON'S RANCH MARINA, located on Caddo Lake
in Uncertain, Texas, is the oldest inland
marina still operating in the State of Texas. Caddo Lake
is the only natural lake in Texas (and was
the only lake until the construction of reservoirs.) JOHNSON'S
RANCH has been serving the
sportsmen of Texas since 1908.
Johnson's Ranch has the only
boat gasoline on Caddo Lake. Their 93 Octane Super Unleaded
will keep your motors running smoothly.

Today JOHNSON'S RANCH MARINA is a full service marina
supplying the sportsman with fuel, live bait, artificial lures,
snacks, get-and- go food, boats (with or without motors),
canoes and kayaks. Uncertain population signs, Caddo inspired
books, matted photographs, postcards and koozies are for sale.
A parking lot and concrete boat launch is easily accessable.



The large covered, over-the-water dock at JOHNSON'S RANCH
affords visitors a relaxing spot to get together and socialize
or fish. The pier offers a panoramic view of Caddo's main
waterway, Big Cypress Bayou and the quaint stilt house across
the bayou, called "Dick and Charlie's Tea Room"
(used in the opening scene of the series, "Trueblood"
(Caddo Lake has served and continues to serve the film
industry with a spectacular background for numerous films,
documentaries and product promotions).
During inclement weather (or televised ball games) a lounge
inside the office building entices folks at JOHNSON'S RANCH
to warm themselves near a wood-burning stove in a comfortable
setting of tables and chairs (dominoes anyone?) Displays of
memorabilia from days gone by accent the room. And, there
is free wireless internet! (Yes, JOHNSON'S
has gone high tech!)
A friendly staff includes owners, Billy Carter and his wife,
Dottie, Sherlyn, Lori and Angi. The staff welcomes your visit
to JOHNSON'S RANCH. Each is more than welcome to answer
questions and share their knowledge of Caddo Lake.
