National Forests and Grasslands in Texas
Located on the northeast shore of the 450-acre Lake Crockett, East Lake Crockett Recreation Area was completed in 1968. Lake Crockett was built in the 1930s and has provided recreational opportunities to its visitors for many years. The lake is stocked with catfish, sunfish, crappie and bass. A paved boat ramp and fishing pier are accessible from the parking lot as well as 4 picnic tables with fire rings and pedestal grills. A new 48-foot floating fishing pier was added in 2017.
