Lake Corpus
Christi State Recreational Area
A man-made lake,
owned by the city of Corpus
Christi, it occupies land where Live Oak, San Patricio, and Jim
Wells county lines converge.
The lake itself is said to be over 19,000 surface acres of water and
is a source of water for several communities. The current lake covered
the older Mathis Dam. In the mid 1930s the State leased land from
the City of Corpus
Christi to create the Lake Corpus Christi State Recreational Area.
The agreement was a 99 year lease.
The park entrance is off FM 1068. |
