The Port
A BoatUS port on Lake Fork.
Captain Mike Hogg opened it to put round-the-clock help on a lake that had none, and it covers Lake Fork Reservoir near Quitman, Texas.
What the port is for
Towing, and getting a boat back.
Newly opened. Two jobs, both of them on the water: stranded boaters brought back safely, and salvage recoveries when a boat has to be brought up or brought in. When towing, salvage or recovery may be covered by your policy, we work directly with your insurance carrier — companies we work with include GEICO, Progressive, State Farm and Allstate, among others, though coverage always comes down to your own policy and claim.
Lake Fork is Texas's premier trophy bass lake, in Wood, Rains and Hopkins counties east of Dallas. As well as the water around this port, H2O Boat Tow also covers Lake Tawakoni, Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lavon, and trailers to other lakes up to about two hours by road from any of its ports.
TowBoatLakeFork.com is our official website, and we're listed on Facebook as a Towing Service.

What we run out for on Lake Fork.
TowBoatUS Lake Fork runs out for any recreational boat on Lake Fork, Texas — along with other vessels we can safely service. Response vessels are dedicated marine-assistance boats, equipped for towing, soft ungrounding, battery jump starts, fuel delivery, and salvage and recovery — carrying towing and recovery lines, pumps, and marine recovery equipment suited to the call — and operated by USCG-licensed captains, with dispatch and on-water assistance on call 24/7/365.
Boat Towing
Towing 24 hours a day, to your trailer, your slip, the marina or the repair shop of your choice, including dock-to-dock tows straight to a repair facility.
Breakdown Assistance
Engine, transmission, drive or electrical failure, fixed out on the water where it can be and towed in where it cannot.
Fuel Delivery
Fuel brought out to you 24/7, and members pay only for the fuel itself.
Battery Jump Starts
A jump start on the water, and a tow in if the jump does not hold.
Soft Ungrounding
If you have found a flat or a stump field, call before you gun the engine.
Salvage and Recovery
Hard groundings, sunken and swamped boats and storm damage, worked with divers, salvage pumps and lift bags, with documentation for your insurer.
Dive Services
Prop and line clearing, underwater inspection, and recovery of lost items.
Jet Ski & PWC Towing
Personal watercraft and jet skis on Lake Fork get the same 24/7 response as any other boat — towed to your trailer, slip or the ramp of your choice.
TowBoatUS members are served according to their towing coverage. Non-members are just as welcome — pricing depends on the type of service, location, distance, time and circumstances of the call.

What Lake Fork said back
Awesome. I am relatively new to this area and was wondering why there wasnt this kind of service on this lake. Its common in all coastal waters. Great news!!
