Despite being small, the park's lake is a popular spot for watersports, including paddling and fishing, and visitors can rent kayaks and fishing equipment from the park office.If you want to learn more about the region's history during your visit with an RV rental in Schulenburg, consider a trip to Monument Hill State Historic Site. This park is located just over 15 minutes' drive from the RV park and is historic for two reasons. The park contains a monument memorializing the Dawson Massacre of 1842, and it was also the site of Texas's first commercial brewery. Visitors can follow trails that lead beyond the park's impressive monument, past the three-story house used by Heinrich Ludwig Kreische as a brewery, and up to an observation platform that provides stunning vistas of the surrounding forests.Or, you may want to branch out and visit one of the state parks along the Texas coastline. Goose Island State Park is situated just outside Victoria and consists of marshlands and beaches overlooking Aransas and St Charles Bay. The park is a hotspot for anglers due to the 1,600-foot fishing pier, which provides anglers with easy access to the bay's abundant fish. Paddling is also popular here, and there's a boat ramp open to the public. Swimming is not allowed at this park due to marsh grass, bulkheads, and other factors.
