Recreational Road 3 (RE 3) is a Recreational Road located in Fannin County in North Texas. The 2-mile (3.2 km) long highway connects Bonham City Lake Recreation Area to Farm to Market Road 273 (FM 273) and the city of Bonham. The road travels in a generally west–east alignment through mixed rural-residential land along the southern shore of Lake Bonham. Its eastern terminus is at County Road 2619 (CR 2610) on the eastern border of the recreation area. The highway was designated in 1970 when the City of Bonham requested the Texas State Highway Commission build a highway to connect its newly-created City Lake park to the state highway network. The road was constructed in 1972 after two years of delays over right-of-way issues largely over the route of an existing dirt track.
