The 333.15 acre Sunset Lake Park is the newest protected public park among the many outdoor recreational resources that the South Texas Coastal Bend offers local citizens and visitors.

Sunset Lake Park opened on February 11, 2000 with a dedication and grand opening event that showcased this one of a kind park located between the shores of Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay between Portland and Corpus Christi. It is an ecologically rich wetland and saltwater lake habitat designed and operated to provide a broad range of outdoor recreational opportunities.

Unique to Sunset Lake Park is a two (2) mile hike and bike trail constructed on an old roadway that transects one of the most diverse coastal marsh and wetland habitats anywhere along the Texas Coast. Nature interpretation boardwalks provide naturalists a view of hundreds of species of birdlife, roosting, nesting and feeding in diverse coastal marsh. Outdoors enthusiasts can fish, swim, canoe, kayak, sail, hike, bike or enjoy birdwatching. The project fulfills a City of Portland vision, where habitat protection and public use are cooperatively planned to improve the outdoor experience, while maintaining our pristine coastal resources.

LOCATED BETWEEN CORPUS CHRISTI BAY AND NUECES BAY
IN SAN PATRICIO COUNTY
Sunset Lake Park is located adjacent to Highway 181 between Portland, Texas and Corpus Christi, Texas. The park is located within the City of Portland (only one-half (1/2) mile from the City's urban area). The site is located along the Texas Coastal Birding Trail.
