About This Access Site
Anzalduas Park, located in Mission near Anzalduas Dam on the Rio Grande, offers a boat ramp and dock for paddlers and boaters accessing this major river. The park provides good amenities including restrooms, paved roads, picnic areas with grills, and a covered bird-observation pier. The site is well-maintained and serves as a convenient launch point for exploring this section of the Rio Grande.
The area is popular for both fishing and bird watching, with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities given the park's location along the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Note that swimming is not permitted at the site. The park's proximity to the international border means you may observe Border Patrol activity on the river. Given the Rio Grande's characteristics in this region—a slower, broader section suitable for recreational paddling—this access point works well for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the river and its wildlife corridor.
