Lone Star Marina in Tool offers one of the few boat launching sites on Cedar Creek Lake these days.
The drought has lowered the lake to the point that many boat launches are inoperable until the lake fills up again. It is now almost five feet low.
Lone Star Marina offers boat launching and return for $10. Lake residents who want to take their boat to home docks can launch one-way for $5.
The marina is at the location of the former Don's Port Marina that closed two years ago.
Lone Star Marina has dredged the area and installed floating docks for boaters' convenience. Amenities include boat rentals, a ship store, slip rental, fuel, boat service and repair, boats for sale, waterfront properties for sale and floating dock sales.
Mike Miller, the owner of Lone Star Marina, is offering full service at the marina, but the old Tiki Hut restaurant remains closed. Miller is searching for a business operator to lease the once-popular restaurant and club.
