Texas Tortoise A PLACE WILDLIFE CAN CALL HOME Many types of wildlife, including some special to South Texas, call Choke Canyon Reservoir and State Park home. None makes more of an impact on the imagination than the American alligator. Often seen sunning themselves on the shores or patrolling the waters of the reservoir or 75-acre Lake, these prehistoric residents can reach over 14 feet! On the furrier side of things and moving through the honey mesquite, javelinas, also known as collared peccaries, are no less interesting. Look for them foraging along the brush line, often in family units with young in tow. These are not the feral hogs taking over the south, they’re native Texans! American Alligator With its variety of habitats and abundant resources, Choke Canyon is an excellent place for you to see birds of every shape and size. Some call the park home year-round, others just visit Turkey in the winter, and some spend just a few weeks while heading north or south. The bright colors of the green jay and Bullock’s oriole and the melodic songs of the northern cardinal and long-billed thrasher remind you of how beautiful nature can be. Watch the skies for Harris’ hawks hunting in teams, power poles for crested caracaras watching for carrion, the brush line for wild turkeys strutting their stuff and listen at night for the common pauraque’s call. Crested Caracara Harris’ Hawk CREATION OF A LAKE, LOSS OF A TOWN T his area was once a part of Calliham, Texas, a small community boasting the first oil and gas wells in the south Texas area. Investors in oil and gas helped to establish the town from which a 68-mile-long pipeline was built to deliver the first natural gas supply to San Antonio. The industry continues to thrive in the area surrounding the park. As the years progressed, many people moved away from Calliham and the population fell to about 120. Meanwhile, the population of Corpus Christi grew. In order to address water needs, the Bureau of Reclamation built Choke Canyon Dam creating the reservoir in 1982. The town of Calliham was relocated three miles south of its original location to make room for the reservoir. The Choke Canyon Dam under construction, 1982. Photo courtesy U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

WELCOME from Rodney Franklin, State Parks Director This year is very special for Texas State Parks: We are celebrating our 100-year anniversary in 2023. More and more Texans are discovering the beauty of State Parks and exploring the outdoors in new and adventurous ways. Our teams across the state are incredibly excited to welcome outdoor enthusiasts, especially those who have yet to discover what our parks have to offer. The variety of Texas’ lands is unmatched; from the mountains of west Texas to the Gulf shores, the Texas State Park system celebrates and preserves the natural and cultural treasures that make Texas such a special place. The 640,000-plus acres that make up the state park system are nearly as diverse as the people of Texas. Since 1923, our mission has been to help connect our visitors with the outdoors. As we honor those who have come before us, I invite a new generation to be a part of the story of the lands that connect us all. There is more to enjoy in our parks than you know, so please join us in our celebrations and activities. Every day we look for new and better ways to ensure your state parks are welcoming to every Texan, regardless of their background or experience being outside. I hope you’ll visit soon and often, while bringing your friends and family along. YOU are a natural and we’re looking forward to celebrating the 100-year anniversary of state parks with you!
