Texas State Parks - Lake Somerville, Birch Creek Unit

Post by Comanchealumni06 »

This park has been one of my families favorites over the years. It’s nestled about 40 miles or so south of College Station. The Park has 3 campgrounds all containing lake access. And a large day use area along the lake as well. This is a great fishing lake! White Bass in the spring time are second to none, they are in their spawn, and you mostly don’t even need a boat to reach em. Many people show up to wade off the banks for them. The creeks feeding this lake are hotspots to catch them too. It is also a popular water sports lake and good for swimming. There are several other parks along the lake as well if the Birch Creek unit creek gets crowded. Such as Lake Somerville State Park: Nails Creek Unit and the Army Corp of Engineers Park for example.I highly recommend!
