Things to Do

Camp, fish, hike, geocache, go boating, and observe and take photos of wildlife, especially birds.

Fishing

Fish from shore, boat, or our 1,620-foot long fishing pier. We have a regular boat launch and a kayak/canoe launch. We also have a fish cleaning station. You do not need a fishing license to fish from shore or pier in a Texas state park.

• Borrow rods, reels and tackle boxes at the park through the Tackle Loaner Program.

• Occasionally, we see alligators in the park; read our alligator safety tips.

Paddling

Bring your own kayak or canoe, or rent one of our kayaks. Rentals, including paddles and lifejackets, are available at a kiosk on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Big Tree

Be sure to visit the Big Tree, which has been standing sentinel on the coast for centuries. In 1969, it was named the State Champion Coastal Live Oak.
