South Shore Park, the busier of the two Lake Bastrop parks, offers a variety of outdoor activities. The 900-acre lake contains bass, crappie, perch and catfish. Anglers can drop a line from the park's fishing pier or head out on a boat from the park's ramp.

Sailing, skiing and canoeing are other popular activities on Lake Bastrop. South Shore Park now offers on-site canoe rentals. On shore, park guests can go hike on three miles of trails or take the kids to the playground.

South Shore Park has 38 Universal Camp sites with water and electric hookups. 16 mini-cabins are available and will sleep up to five in two sets of bunk beds. Each cabin has electricity, an outside water spigot, heat and A/C, a ceiling fan, a front porch, a picnic table and a grill. Restrooms and showers are available for park guests. See map of the park.
