Little Boggy/McNabb Lake

Little Boggy Bayou connects McNab and Gottschalk lakes to the Intracoastal Waterway. This is a great place to fish for Reds and Flounder and view wildlife. Be aware that this is prime Alligator habitat and we have heard reports of some 13ft+ monsters up there. This is a good place to stay in your kayak and not get out to wade. We also recommend you carry a GPS and lay a track. It can be easy to get lost in the maze of marsh that is Little Boggy. If you are going here for the first time, it is a good idea to hire a guide to show you around. All the land in Little Boggy is private property so please protect paddler access and don’t trespass onto dry land here.

Getting There:

From Matagorda, go east at the Cemetery on Old Gulf Rd. (also known as Cemetery Road). Drive for approximately 2.75 miles and park just before the small bridge and launch on the north side of the road.
Coordinates:28.71081, -95.9146

Parking & Facilities:

There are no facilities at this site. There is parking along both sides of the road. Do not leave valuables in your car at this site.

Awful!

Any updated on how it looks today? We are supposed to go this weekend.

Why is this happening?

Is the river affected also

Alyssa Bustamante I was coughing the whole time I was there.

I have relatives coming from out of state and they love the beach. How is the beach at this time? Are there a lot of dead fish? I heard the county had cleaned up some of the dead fish. We are not interested in going in the water. Just want to hang out, watch the waves, and have some refreshments.

That red tide will get you sick

I wouldnt swim in that water right now even if I lived back down there

Update on the Red tide? Are there still dead fish and bad smell?

Have to pee but not going I that..so gross!

I have subscribed to you on youtube and left a comment there. I will do it here as well. Can you please show how loose or packed the beach is when you pull onto it. Or any real beach conditions. I need more than "it's a 4x4 only" or "as dry as I have ever seen it". Just a quick clip of what it looks like as you pull on and off the beach with some feed back. I love the content, and go down there every year to go fishing. We normally go camping for around 5 days or so and would love a heads up on beach conditions before we take 4 or 5 trucks out there. Keep up the content. Thanks.

Gorgeous!! Thanks for the great view this morning! We were down about 3 weeks ago, the tar was pretty nasty, how's that situation looking?

We have never been to this part of Texas, but we are coming this weekend after a wedding in Houston. Will it be safe to swim in by Sunday, or are there riptides predicted after the rains come through? I heard this beach is way better than going to Galveston.
