Texas Parks and Wildlife Working 10 New Fishing Access Projects

While it seems like most kids enjoy having a gaming system or phone in their hand, it’s amazing how much fun they have when they put the electronics down and pick up a fishing pole. Getting outdoors in the great state of Texas can be quite the adventure and the good people at Texas Parks and Wildlife want to encourage more people to enjoy time outside and have identified 10 places that they will be working on to improve the habitat and angler access over the next few years.

It’s so awesome that these projects are going to move forward to improve the fishing access in certain areas. The TPWD Inland Fisheries Division selected these 10 projects to be supported in 2024-2025. The funding for these projects is provided by the Habitat and Angler Access Program and is awarded to help improve public ponds, large reservoirs, creeks and rivers. Really, it’s all about making sure that people have access to go fishing not only now but for years and decades to come.
