LAKE TEXANA SP: Where is the best kept State Park secret 
in the lone star state? We'll tell you on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Life is better outside, and what better way to enjoy what 
nature has to offer by visiting a Texas state park. These 
reserved areas are dedicated to provide education and 
recreation to the general public. And for twenty five 
years, Lake Texana has been doing just that.

David Lopez is park Superintendent, and tells us why he 
believes park enthusiasts keep coming back to this 
outdoor hideaway in Edna, Texas. 

Lake Texana State Park is abundant in wildlife. We have lots of 
different types of mammals and reptiles, birds that come into our 
park coves. It's just a great getaway, especially here in our area. 
We get a lot of the visitors that come through heading south. We 
like to tote ourselves as the best kept state park secret in Texas. 
 

The park, halfway between Houston and Corpus Christi, is 
a quick trip for a weekend retreat. Catering to a variety 
of interests, you are sure to find entertainment while 
spending time outdoors at Lake Texana. 

Of course, being located on the lake we have our fishing 
activities. We have boating, water skiing, sailing. We offer 
canoes, kayaks, and hydro-bikes for rent inside the park cove. We 
have lots of trees, campsites, just an array of different activities 
here in the park.

You can find more information about the Lake Texana 
State Park on the Texas Parks & Wildlife website.
