Falcon State Park

Falcon State Park sits on the shore of Falcon International Reservoir along the Texas-Mexico border. This subtropical park is a world-class birding destination, particularly for rare species that cross from Mexico. The reservoir offers outstanding bass fishing, and the mild winter climate makes it a popular snowbird destination.
