Texana Park And Campground
3. Texana Park And Campground
24mi from Port Lavaca · 21 sites
Lake Texana stands out as a unique destination due to its expansive 10,000 acres of water and 125 miles of scenic shoreline, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Nestled on the Navidad River, just 8 miles east of Edna in Jackson County, Texas, this reservoir was created by the construction of the Palmetto Bend Dam, which began in 1968 and was completed in 1979. Managed by the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority, Lake Texana serves as a vital source of drinking water for nearby communities and industries, being the only reservoir under the Authority's management.
For fishing enthusiasts, Lake Texana offers a diverse range of fish species, including catfish, bass, and crappie, thanks to regular stocking efforts aimed at enhancing recreational fishing opportunities. The lake is also home to a variety of native plant species, such as coontail, spikerush, cattail, pondweed, bull's tongue, pickerel weed, and duckweed, which contribute to the area's rich ecosystem. However, visitors should be aware of three invasive species present in the lake: hydrilla, giant salvinia, and water hyacinth, with the giant salvinia currently limited to the Sandy Creek
