Lake Bastrop – South Shore

South Shore Park, the busier of the two Lake Bastrop parks, offers a variety of outdoor activities. The 900-acre lake contains bass, crappie, perch and catfish. Anglers can drop a line from the park’s fishing pier or head out on a boat from the park’s ramp.

​
Sailing, skiing and canoeing are other popular activities on Lake Bastrop. South Shore Park now offers on-site canoe rentals. On shore, park guests can enjoy the shaded day use and swim areas for picnics, an expanded hiking and biking trail, tetherball courts, and a hall with AC/heat perfect for family reunion and other group events.

Boaters on Lake Bastrop and other lakes are required to drain their boats after use to help prevent the spread of zebra mussels. Learn more.
