Lake Corpus Christi State Park

Lake Corpus Christi State Park borders a 21,000-acre reservoir in the South Texas brush country. CCC-built structures, a swimming pool, and excellent largemouth bass fishing make it a popular destination. The park also serves as a gateway for birders heading to the coastal birding trail.
