Nice and quiet place to stroll. There's a boat ramp here.. The entrance fee is $3 per person. Ample picnic benches all over. Complain is with the restrooms, though...

I love this lake. I love this park too. It's June 9th 2021 and the water was pretty high but the water felt great 83 degree temp. It was a beautiful wonderful day.

This is a beautiful park a short drive from Houston or Austin. There are plenty of places to eat, walk, and sit near the water. I didn't use any facilities but there were plenty available throughout the park. We paid $6 for a day pass for two people. Enjoy!

Can you take a generator for night camping?

Joni Castaneda | Sep 25, 2021
Tweak Marchon | Sep 26, 2021

I camp there for weeks on end and use generators 24 hours a day and pay for primitive camping. As long as your generator is not impeding someone else's camping the post won't care. They will even encourage you to camp anywhere you want as long as no one complains they are happy to have you. I have never had anyone complain and I run 2 3500 watt generators in tandem
