More than 40 geocaches and bonus geocaches have been hidden in special places throughout the Rockport-Fulton area. Use your geocaching app or GPS to go on an adventure through our peninsula on the beautiful coast of Texas! Take pictures and post to social media using the hashtag #FindYourselfinRockportFulton #RFGeoTour #GeoTour.
You can find not only a geocache, but also a front row seat to Beautiful Sunset! Be sure to watch out for Alligators!
This off-the-beaten-path spot was once a dirt trail to the water’s edge, well-worn by local fishermen. This small, waterfront public park faces west offering some of the most spectacular sunsets in Aransas County. It’s a popular kayak launch. There is paved parking, picnic table and a bench along the waterfront, Signs are posted to Watch for Alligators, which incidentally entices folks to take a curious look! But seriously, alligators have been reported, so keep your pets close and your children closer. You’ll find excellent bird watching opportunities here also. Bird Species spotted here include – Greater Roadrunner, American Oystercatcher, Spotted Sandpipers, Caspian, Royal, and Forster’s Terns, assorted Sparrows in winter, Osprey, Little Blue Heron, Green Heron, Reddish Egret
History: The park was originally created as Airport Park in 2006 and officially dedicated under its new name in 2011- Howard Murph Memorial Park – honoring the long-time resident and County Commissioner who was also a veteran of the Vietnam War. One of his many accomplishments was the creation of this park.
