Facility Overview
Eagle Lake #2 is an open-air surface parking facility situated at 1099 Spoonbill Lane in scenic Eagle Lake, Texas (Colorado County). Nestled in a quiet rural setting renowned as the goose hunting and wetland recreation capital of Texas, this facility offers open-ground staging for outdoor enthusiasts, residents, and visitors. Because this is a ground-level, uncovered lot with no overhead barriers or height restrictions, it provides unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for full-size pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, truck-and-boat trailer combinations, hunting rigs, and standard passenger cars.
