Goose Island State Park
Goose Island State Park, a longtime favorite of many campers
and fishermen, covers 314 acres and is located at the conjunction of
Aransas, Copano and St. Charles Bays. The park is noted for the "Big
Tree", the State Champion Coastal Live Oak and the opportunity to view
the endangered whooping cranes. Good fishing opportunities abound for
speckled trout, red fish, drum, flounder, and sheepshead, as well as for
crabbing and oystering. Goose Island State Park is also an excellent
place to observe water birds, water fowl, shore birds, and passerines
--- both in migration and in residence.

Aransas National Wildlife Refuge
The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1937
to protect the vanishing wildlife of coastal Texas. It is an
ever-changing land and is still being shaped by the waters and
storms of the Gulf of Mexico. This 54,829 acre refuge occupies
the Blackjack Peninsula, named for its scattered blackjack oaks.
Grasslands, live oaks and red bay thickets cover deep, sandy
soils. Ringed by tidal marches and broken by long, narrow ponds,
Aransas is home for cranes, alligators, deer and many other
species of wildlife.
