Encompassing a beautiful swathe of land around the Amistad Reservoir, a dam on the Rio Grande, Amistad National Recreation Area is an excellent destination for outdoor recreation no matter what the time of year.
The park is best-known as a water sports destination; the reservoir is perfect for boating, swimming, and fishing, and it's also home to an extensive system of underwater caves that can be explored by experienced scuba divers. Unlike many other national parks, the park also offers the opportunity to hunt during certain times of the year. There are also five campgrounds in the park, all of which are open year-round.
