Flora and Fauna near Chimney Park RV Resort

Located on the banks of the Rio Grande, the park features a view of Mexico just across the river. The lush flora and varied fauna are typical of the south Texas sub-tropics. Weather is warm year round and winter and early spring seasons are positively delightful. The surrounding brushlands provide natural habitats for exotic cats such as ocelot and jaguarundi. Exotic birds include paraque, groove-billed ani, and black bellied whistling duck.

Chimney Park RV Resort

My favorite RV park in the Rio Grande Valley is Chimney Park RV Resort. In fact I liked it so much my company bought it! It has all the features and amenities you would expect in four star Rio Grande park such as pool, spa, full hookups, rec center, planned activities, shuffle board and bird watching. But because of it's unique location right on the Rio Grande river it is truly a special place.

The property was instrumental in the development of south Texas because of the chimney after which the park was named. The chimney is all that remains of the 1907 pumping plant and is a designated Texas historical landmark. It is a truly moving experience to stand on the banks of the river that separates Texas from Mexico and imagine what it was like 100 years ago when the Mission Canal Co. Irrigation system began pumping water from the Rio Grande river to irrigate the crops of the lower Rio Grande Valley.

Much of the area around Chimney Park is undeveloped and unspoiled much as it was 100 years ago.
