About Gibbons Creek Reservoir Park
Ready to
catch the big one? Come on over to Gibbons Creek Reservoir. Originally stocked by
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in 1981, the Reservoir supports healthy
populations of largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and an assortment of bluegills
and sunfish. A quarter million hybrid Texas-Florida largemouth bass were introduced
in 1985, with 133,000 more added to the stock in 2002. With such a rich stocking
history, the fish are biting. So come on over and bring your rod and reel.
Maybe you feel like taking a spin on your Jet Ski, tubing with friends, or just
spending the day in the boat. Come on over to Gibbons Creek for that, too. Public
boat ramps provide quick, easy access to the water. Covering 2770 acres, the main
body of the lake ranges from 12 to 37 feet deep, with creek arms varying in depth
from 3 to 13 feet. There’s plenty of room here for the water contact sports you
enjoy.
Just looking for a getaway? 17 RV campsites with electricity, water, and picnic
tables create a comfortable place to rest after a day on the lake. If more primitive
camping is your style, bring your tent and your sleeping bag. You can still make
use of the restrooms, showers, picnic and swimming areas at the park. Use the fire
rings or barbecue pits to cook the day’s catch. There’s a breeze blowing across
the lake and the sun is setting soon, so come on over to Gibbons Creek
