Recreation

With Kingsville’s wide selection of outdoor recreational offerings, there’s no excuse for inactivity. Fishing and hunting are among the area’s most popular outdoor pastimes.

Baffin Bay, located a short 20 minutes away, is world-renowned for its large spotted sea trout. In fact, the Texas State record (13 lbs. 11 oz) was caught in these waters. Other activities are also available, including water sports, boating and excellent park and lodge facilities.

The historic King Ranch is a working ranch with more than 60,000 cattle and 300 quarter horses. Exotic game, deer, dove and quail hunts are offered on the ranch and are extremely popular, both locally and internationally. For those seeking more relaxed activities, guided, motorized tours are offered at specified times throughout the day and give a fascinating glimpse into Kingsville’s past, as well as King Ranch’s invaluable contributions to current-day ranching practices. Other nature tours are available to observe our native wildlife, including the many species of birds. Contact the ranch at 361-592-8055 or visit www.king-ranch.com for more information.
