Pleasure IslandTX

Port Arthur's Pleasure Island, an 18.5 mile long man-made body of land, extends from the mouth of the Neches River on the northwest to the Sabine Causeway on the southeast and is surrounded by Sabine Lake and the Sabine Neches Intracoastal Waterway.

Pleasure Island is a place of beauty.  Its hills, bluffs, and vistas of Sabine Lake are a delight and pleasure to those who visit.  Pleasure Island is where the fun begins!

Walter Umphrey State Park

Located at the South end of Pleasure Island on Mesquite Point, Walter Umphrey State Park has a lighted fishing pier, boat launch, and RV park.  Facilities for tent camping and picnicking are also available.

NOTE:  The lighted fishing pier was destroyed by Hurricane Ike in 2008; however,  as of Summer 2010, plans are in the works for replacement.
