About Us
River Ridge wants to provide you with a place that you will be proud to bring your family and friends. We have the best fishing in East Texas. Many years ago rivers got a bad rap because of the dumping of waste by big companies. Times have changed and we are proud to be located on the Sabine River where the water runs clean and the fish taste great. We hope you will check us out and maybe enjoy some of our paradise. Looking forward to seeing you soon. We are located about 45 minutes from the casinos in Bossier City, Louisiana. After you catch your fish you might want to try your luck and eat a nice meal.
