We both love to fish and this was by far the BEST fishing excursion/trip we have ever taken. We had an amazing day of fishing on the lake, getting 103 largemouth bass to the boat an we probably missed/lost another 50. All fish were great quality as well. Our guide and the owners of Moody Ranch are just outstanding people and very accommodating. This will be a trip with my son that I'll never forget and a birthday that he won't soon forget either! Do not hesitate for 1 second to book a bass fishing trip with Moody Ranch! You will be so glad you did and you will create memories to last a lifetime. This is a special place and I look forward to many future trips with family, friends, and clients. Thank you Moody Ranch for making our experience such a special one!

One of the trails we took was the overlook trail where there is a raised platform where you can see one of the lakes and at that time there were tons of birds on the water. This trail had more of a canopy than you'd expect and some cool trees with Spanish moss hanging on them. We'd come back.

We enjoyed the view of the lake, the quiet, and the 3 mile hike around the lake. The hosts were very accommodating and checked in on us to make sure our stay was going well and we were happy. At night they monitored the parking lot while the fisherman left for the day and watched to make sure everyone was safe, which I really appreciated. Next year they will be adding some RV sites as well as cabins next to the lake and I will definitely be returning!!

Friday night two…read morefamilies with about 6 kids showed up at 930pm and stayed until 130am drinking, fishing, and carrying on about 50 feet from our campsite. We saw no Park Ranger come through that evening. The next afternoon at 4:30 several families totaling probably 30 adults and 20 kids showed up with a generator, deep freeze, mounted stereo system and several tents, and they overtook the rest of our campground area. The Park Manager told us all he could do was come through at 10 p. m. and enforce the music curfew. We had no recourse on the laughing, talking, and carrying on however. We decided to bail before 9 p.m.. Will never camp overnight there again.

(From February 2025)…read more When I made it here, it was right when it got dark and with the cold wind chill coming so I only walked around the pathway one time and that was it. While short and brisk, I imagined what the views would be like if it was warm and sunny outside. I pictured peoples reflections being seen in the lake and the bouncing of basketballs on the b-ball court while hearing the noises of kids in the playgrounds. Then I came to my senses and realized that the walk was over due to the path being shorter than I thought. Although short, it's a great way to escape and enjoy the sounds of nature. I hope to come back here when it's warmer and I'm back on assignment in College Station.

Came here for the first time with my son. We came to exercise this morning and it was beautiful…read more The park overall is really small. We zig zagged through every walkway and came up just under a full mile so if you're looking at running a mile or more and don't like to backtrack, then this isn't the park for you or you can run outside of the park. It f you do, the sidewalk doesn't connect all the way around so you'll end running on the grass. The way the trees and bushes are, it's a relaxing and pleasant stroll through the mini woods. There's a large pond where I think fishing is allowed since I didn't see a sign other than no swimming. This park comes with a nice little clean playground for the kiddies and a full size basketball court to include 2 additional mini full size courts. There was even a basketball so my son and I shot some hoops for a little bit. I did see some picnic tables with bbq grills and a pavilion with more tables/chairs. If you're looking for a hike or a trail, I wouldn't recommend only because it's too easy. The walkway is kind of narrow so please be careful of others if you're running. The parking lot is a good size, but I heard it's full during game day.

This is just one area of the park but there is a huge pond to fish, a large walking trail around the pond on the other side and I've only explored a portion of this park. My kids loved it. We will be back!

The pavilions are covered with ample seating, there's a nice playground nearby for the kids, and lots of open grass for games. The bathrooms are pretty clean and close by. There is also ample parking. We visited in mid October and while it was still pretty hot, the shade of the pavilion makes for a nice day out. We were able to play several games in the nearby grassy area - making sure to drink plenty of water! There are a few trees so it isn't totally open but large enough for group games. There's a ditch area further out that's pretty easy to retrieve balls and frisbees from if they go too far. All in all a solid picnic option!

We were on one the smaller loops. Was a lot quieter than the other ones LOL the swim area was full of boats by the afternoon. The trails are marked, when you drive in and go toward the swim area, you'll see the brown sign at the entrance along the right. We drove around and checked out all the sites, they have quite a few that can accommodate large RVs along with extra parking for a boat. If you pull up the satellite view on Recreation.gov you'll be able to view the spot numbers and layout that way. Perfect for sunset pictures! Seems a lot cleaner than past pictures. Read online that is was part of the push of why they stopped allowing day passes.

Unfortunately, I felt very isolated and fearful when I heard voices outside my camper at 2 a.m. I've since learned that the place is quite the college hangout and not well patrolled. The attendant at the gate didn't seem to know much about anything. He told me there was no dump station. There was. And there was an initial mix up on site numbers. In all, I think this place could be a great asset to the area with just a bit of TLC. I saw there are kayak rentals. The sunsets were spectacular.
