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 been licensed to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for all active operations and management, to include public access and public hunting.  Contact information and the Hunting Rules regarding the public hunting lands near Crowell, called the Teacup Mountain Wildlife Management Area can be found at this LINK.
