Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife Viewing

The project is located in an area of relative lowlands with broad and flat valleys. The lowlands are predominantly pasture with moderately heavy growths of cedar and mesquite.  Wildlife management plans are in place to enhance habitat for local species.

Some sport fishing is available in fresh water ponds located on the project.

Wildlife in the project area include white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, cottontails. Migrations of waterfowl to the project continue to increase, and has provided a good opportunity for waterfowl hunters.

The USACE public property at Crowell, TX has recently been licensed by our Real Estate Division to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for all active operations and management, to include public access and public hunting.  The TPWD have made a determination to allow the visiting public to hunt the property under the previous rules and guidelines that have always been utilized for this upcoming fall season.  For future rules and regulations regarding the public hunting lands near Crowell, called the Teacup Mountain Public Hunting Land, please reference the TPWD webpage under the public hunting section.  Thank you for your understanding, cooperation and patience during this transition.  For more information, please call the TPWD staff at 800-492-3425.
