During my visit, the area was well maintained. I went there to photograph the sunrise 🌄. The morning was cold and the lake was filled with lots of many ducks and bird related species. In addition, people were already set in place around the lake and getting their fishing gear ready for the tournament. When the sun began to rise, other persons joined the competition with their small paddle boats. Overall, I left very pleased. I didn't catch any fish, but I did get lots of beautiful compositions.

It’s okay. It’s the only body of water in El Paso besides the Rio Grande. But.. the surrounding area is trash. Just stare at the water, don’t look up.

The park is dirty bathroom's filthy during the day no shade plus at night no light's whay does the country do with money they change at entrance and events

I loved visiting this place full of Monday enjoy it

Great hang out spot for picnic, fishing, bicycle riding.... There's a 2$ charge for parking before u entered, strongly suggest to bring cash. Lots of space, nice walk, u can pay inside the park for kayaking, bicycle riding.

park opens at 5:30 summer and winter it 6:30. closes at 9:00pm Nicely stocked lake with blue and channel catfish ,largemouth bass , rainbow and brown trout (Winter)and several species of panfish. A good fishing spot with the rite bait at the correct time of day! However, don’t forget your tx state fishing license. 17 and under fish for free! A Nice walking track around the lake My phone shows 6,000 steps to walk around lake. Monday through Thursday it’s free to enter Ascarate park. Friday it’s $2.00 holidays it’s $5.00. Special events it’s $5.00. Ascarate park encompasses 400 acres the lake surface area is 43 acres. 18 hole golf course. Sunsets can be stunning with the Franklin mountains looming in the distance. Lots of local birds,Canadian geese, ducks, mallards, coots. Insects,dragonflies and bees along with all the others you would find in a healthy aquatic habitat.

Relaxing and beautiful

Nice small lake. I enjoy fishing from my boat and catching fish all day long.

Had a good morning with my nephew Robert at the old park..!!! Thanks to the maintenance staff for helping pull this big boy out...I released Charlie after the video... catch him if you can...

Only went there one time. Don't eat any of the fish you catch.

Nice place to go chill, fish or just walk the dogs.

Brought back memories from the 80's!

A good one.

Beautiful lake; There is a nice walking path around it too! One of the best views in El Paso

Good fishing lake had really improved big time. This has become the perfect spot to fish and relax. Great job County of El Paso. A little tip from a frequent fisherman and visitor. SO COUNTY should stock the middle ponds with sun perch and chad for the little kids to e joy the experience to. Proud to be a resident of the AscArate community and loving the way you all are making the fishing experience fun.

Lake is good for fishing...not (fished out)...just need to know how to catch em

The City of El Paso is forgetting about this place nothing attractive it used to be great now they want 5 dollars to get in on holidays very undeserving not happy at all

Probably the only go-to place in the middle of El Paso if you are looking for a body of water. It is man-made but still very nice to visit. Families come to fish, enjoy paddle boats, barbecue pavilion/tables, golf course and a community pool. There's a track around the manmade lake to walk around. Plenty of parking and lights display during the holidays.

Beautiful park lots of space to fish. Playground for the kids and restrooms too.

Attended the Water Lantern Festival. Highly recommend. Would definitely attend again.

While the fishing wasn't too good (no bites), the kids and dog enjoyed running around and using the playground. It was also very clean and well kept. Would come back again, but not for fishing.

Loved it. It had been a while that we had gone. Very peaceful, quiet and just lovely. A lot of fish btw.

I love being here. Memories made and memories waiting to be made. Trash is the only issue. If your messy, please clean up after yourself..

A very beautiful place in El Paso to hang out with family and friends. I have been here twice with my friends and family in two months and love this place esp. in the evening (during sunset).

The park is very good. Has a lot of grill places and sport courts. The lake and the ducks are beautiful. The playground could be better.

I love this park! Just concerned about the people speeding, drunk driving and people shooting drugs in the public restrooms ! We need eppd there ! Thank you ! I hope this helps .

The place is very nice, they decorated it quite well.

Awesome place to take the kids. They have playgrounds, a water park and you can fish . The park staff are friendly. People walk and ride bikes for exercise also.

Nice park ,lots to do! Pretty birds, beautiful water.the fountain is cute. Kids park, basketball hoops, picnic table

I am a viner and I live. Vanlife I live in my van so once in awhile I go into the lake to beautiful place to be in the only bad part is a maintenance they tend to follow me but besides that beautiful

I learned to waterski here. Lots of adventures!

Fishing with the Swishsplashbrand fishing box was such a fun experience!! Caught tons of bass #SSB #ARCANEFISHINGBOX

(Translated by Google) I have not had the opportunity to visit it yet but it has an excellent view from the sky on the side of Cd. Juarez (Original) No he tenido la oportunidad de vistarlo aun pero tiene una excelente vista desde el cielo del lado de Cd. Juarez

Nice place to have a picnic.

Nice place to cook out and enjoy time with family and friends

Something for everyone.

What a beautiful little getaway. Cant wait to spend more time here.

Awesome to have a nice little stroll

Beautiful place for spending quite evenings..

Very nice lake, gorgeous to walk around at sunset. Plenty of places to grill and hang out too! Just wish our pup could swim, she wanted to get in the water so bad!

Too little fish for too big lake. Good for evening visit and walking

Cool

Descent fishing nice time with the family

No fish

I like to fish...so does most of el paso...the lakes usually always fished out! Great place for cruisin, and events tho.

Easy access and lots of areas to fish, but very few fish. Water in smaller pond was very clear.

A great place to walk around, exercise, relax, cook out, or crossing around, love it,👍😍

One of the best parks in El Paso! So much to do. The park has baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, handball courts, walking/biking paths, golf course with driving range, swimming pool, picnic areas, playgrounds, and a big beautiful lake! You can fish all year round as long as you have your fishing license. You can also take a kayak, paddle boat, canoe, row boat, or a boat with electric motor onto the lake at no cost! The lake itself is clear and pretty clean. The lake has trout, largemouth bass, black bass, cat fish, and sunfish species. Many types of birds frequent the lake. Ascarate park is a beautiful place to take your family, friends, loved ones, or yourself for a drive or spend the whole day. It's free to enter during the week and $2 on weekends.

Great place to hang out anytime of the day. The lake is clean and clear. Nice to go with the family, friends, loved one or solo. You can also bring your kayak or boat using a trolley motor
