Maverick County Lake Softens Downtown Eagle Pass

Maverick County Lake sits in the heart of downtown Eagle Pass. Morning walks and fishing are its plain attractions. It puts a quiet patch of water close to the streets people already use, without requiring a drive to the river or a full-day outing.

The lake belongs to a city network of 16 parks and greenspaces with trails, pavilions, ballfields, courts, playgrounds, and a skatepark. Shelby Park offers a ramp onto the Rio Grande; Maverick County Lake gives the middle of town its own place beside the water.
