35857 Marshall Hutts Road , Arroyo City, TX 78590(Cameron County)

Most of the work has already been done on the project. Debris, concrete block rip rap, and an old pier/dock were removed from the shoreline. In late 2013, approximately 100 linear feet of CMI ShoreGuard Vinyl Sheet Piling (SG525) in 12 lengths with 6x6 walers were installed. The approximate water depth at the shoreline is 6 feet. The concrete anchor is setback 20 with galvanized rods on 5 centers. The wall is back filled & sloped to approximately 5-to-1 for accessibility & yard maintenance. Six boathouse and six dock pilings have been installed; pilings are 12 butt, 2.5 CCA driven to grade. There is an open-sided 14 x 24 boathouse with metal roof attached to an L-shaped pier with walkway and 10 x 30 head complete with fishing lights (completed 2015).

The views from this property are spectacular! The property is on a slight bend on the Arroyo, so panoramic views of the water and native habitat on the northern bank are beautiful! This is an excellent location in Arroyo City - just 7/10 of a mile from the intersection of FM-1847 & FM-2925 (Marshall Hutts Road), a short 2.4 miles from Adolph Thomae Jr Park, just a 4 mile boat ride from the boat house to the park's boat launch, a short 7 miles from the pier to the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado, and about 15 miles from the Arroyo Colorado bridge in Rio Hondo to the property. This area has so much to offer - watersports, world class birding, world class fishing, boating, relaxation, small community, and the list goes on and on.

The Arroyo Colorado is located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and is a sub-watershed of the Nueces-Rio Grande Coastal Basin, also known as the South (Lower) Laguna Madre Watershed. Its headwaters are southwest of the city of Mission, and it drains in to the Lower Laguna Madre. The Arroyo, as its referred to locally, is about 90 miles long with a range of width of 40-200 feet; depth can range as shallow as 2 feet or as deep as 13 feet. It has been used by generations of anglers, boaters, and swimmers and remains a popular destination for visitors to the area. As one of only two freshwater inputs (the other being the North Floodway), it is a vital part of the lower Laguna Madre (LLM) ecosystem and serves as nursery and habitat for many recreationally important species. Depending on the season, anglers can be found fishing for spotted sea trout, redfish, flounder, snook, or tarpon.

There is a boat launch in Adolph Thomae Jr. County Park, which is just a short drive from the property - just 2.4 miles. The park is located within and surrounded by the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. There are lighted fishing piers, picnic areas and a playground, boat ramp with fish cleaning stations, and nature trail, and 35 full-hookup RV sites (most are water-front).

The Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge is on the most southern tip of Texas, along the shores of the Laguna Madre, with dense patches of thorny brush rise among unique wind-blown clay dunes called lomas. In a region of Texas some call the last great habitat, thorn forest intermingles with freshwater wetlands, coastal prairies, mudflats and beaches. Here, the endangered ocelot silently hunts within the brush-lands, white-tailed deer browse on a banquet of plants, Aplomado Falcons soar above the grasslands and nearly half of all the bird species found in the continental United States rest, feed, nest and or migrate.
