Choke Canyon State Park

Choke Canyon State Park consists of two units- South Shore and Calliham and are located on 26,000-acre Choke Canyon Resevoir and is a major water supply for Corpus Christi. 

The Calliham Unit, containing 1100 acres is in McMullen County and the South Shore Unit contains 385 acres in Live Oak County. 

The South Shore Unit is a day-use park only and offers boating, picnicking, camping, kayaking, wildlife viewing, birding, fishing, a lake beach and softball and volleyball areas.  Seasonal guided bird walks are conducted on scheduled days.  Day use equestrian is allowed in the North Shore Equestrian Area on Saturday and Sunday. 

As part of a joint project of the Bureau of Reclamation and the American Birding Association, Choke Canyon Reservoir has been recognized as a place of special importance for birds and  bird watchers.  Large numbers and varieties of birds are attracted to the water and to the adjacent upland habitats.  Also, many typically Mexican species of birds approach the northern limits of their range here, making  this one of Texas' finest places to watch birds.
