In Short – Fort Anahuac marks the site of the first shot fired in the early days of the Texas Revolution. Today, this 40-acre park contains RV hookups, camping areas, picnic tables, covered pavilions and boat ramps for access to Trinity Bay. Visitors will also enjoy a lighted pier, various swimming areas and three baseball fields. One of the most popular activities at the park is bird-watching among the marshes and along the shoreline of the bay.
