South Concho Park

South Concho Park provides public access to the South Concho River at Bell Street Reservoir in San Angelo. This access point is suitable for kayakers and canoeists, particularly when Lake Nasworthy Dam upstream is releasing water. The South Concho flows through San Angelo and joins the North Fork to form the main Concho River near this location, with recreational paddling opportunities continuing downstream along the main channel.

Water conditions on the South Concho depend on dam releases—check current water flow before your trip, as recreational suitability varies seasonally. The river is generally manageable for paddlers seeking a local waterway experience. For those interested in exploring the broader Concho River system, nearby options include Twin Buttes Reservoir (about 6 miles south) and O.C. Fisher Lake on the North Concho River, which offer different water conditions and recreational opportunities.
