AREA ATTRACTIONS

Lake Amistad (Rough Canyon Marina 30 minutes from Loma Alta Ranch)

67,000 acres of water along 540 miles of U.S. shoreline - this is Lake Amistad, one of the largest, clearest lakes in Texas! Lake Amistad is considered by many to be Del Rio's biggest draw, offering acres of blue glass on the Texas/Mexico border. The lake is part of Amistad Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service. It is fed by the Pecos, Rio Grande, and Devil's River; limestone deposits and solid earth lend the water an extraordinary clarity and deep turquoise quality.

Amistad Recreation Area attracts people internationally not just for boating and house boating, but also camping, water-skiing and wakeboarding, nature hikes, and especially fishing. The lake holds several variations of bass, catfish, sunfish, and gar, not to mention various other fish species. Lake Amistad is known as one of the best bass lakes in the country; with warm weather nine months out of the year, Amistad can be fished when other lakes have little to offer. Many of the best examples of prehistoric Native American petroglyphs in North America are local, with a few, such as the Parida and Panther caves, accessible by boat.
