Walk around the first pond then drive to the other side. You can also walk around the other ponds.

The hatchery is a great place to find dragonflies. They are putting in a pollinator garden at the opposite end of the main building where the old houses are/were.

Just about anything. After all, it is South Texas! You can find water birds here year round.

The hatchery is located 0.25 miles west of the Uvalde County Fairgrounds on County Road 203. The entrance is on the south side of U. S. Highway 90.

The entrance off County Road 481 (the old Eagle Pass Road) stays locked now.

There are lots of recreational opportunities at the hatchery. Stop by the Visitor Center for educational information or to view aquarium displays of endangered fish and salamanders.
Across from the Visitor Center is a two-acre pond with walking paths, bird blinds, and areas to view birds, dragonflies, and other wildlife.  

The Nueces Loop is a part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife's, Great Texas Wildlife Trails, Heart of Texas West Wildlife Trail. It is centered around the upper Nueces River from Uvalde north.

There is a nice trail around the first pond on your left, the pond that has gazebos.
