Cedar Gap Park Park Road, Harker Heights, TX 76548

"Rode my bike here as the halfway point of a 30 miler. There are restrooms in decent shape. The place is mainly used by boaters and jet skiers to access the lake."

"Not much to do beside fishing and boating. I went to the trail and it was hardly walkable. The trailhead smelled very bad and dirty. View of the bridge and sunrise was great."

"Cedar Gap Park is an Army Corps of Engineers located in Harker Heights along Stillhouse Hollow Rd. There is a boat ramp, parking, fishing areas, and a restroom. As for hiking, this park only has short trails."

"This is a classic Texas-sized great big lake which I found interesting for 2 reasons: First, the high-water mark is very visible along the shore, which is covered - completely in some areas - with sticks and branches. I assume they were washed up along the shoreline during the really wet spring most all of Texas has experienced, and then have since become weathered and bleached by the sun. This made for a unique, picturesque setting, as well as a virtually endless supply of great walking sticks. The other thing I thought was interesting is the evidence of the impact Zebra Muscles appear to be having on the lake. The infestation of this invasive species must be fairly recent, as these things aren't covering everything like they are in other lakes I've seen them in, but they're definitely there and easy to spot. The clarity of the water is a dead giveaway, and this lake is significantly less stained than it probably should be. I don't know enough about the affect this has had, or will have in the future, on the fish population, but I can tell you I threw everything in my tackle box throughout 3 different visits, without getting a single bite. The lake looks fishy as hell, but they were definitely not biting on anything the days I was there. However, this would be a Great place to take small kids fishing, because they'd be guaranteed to catch tons of small bluegills from a sizeable floating dock/swim platform to the left of the boat launch. It's so hot during the summer days, and I imagine this large platform offers great cover from the heat, so the population of bluegills hanging out under this thing is Huge! Buy some worms and some really small hooks, then get ready to be taking lots of little fish off your son's or daughter's pole if they drop their bait straight down from the edge of this platform."

"Single lane boat ramp with a floating courtesy dock. This ramp can get quite congested at times but entry into the park is completely free. A closer option if you don't mind the wait. Can be a great spot for land based anglers that just want to wet a line as well. Caught my largest bass to date from the bank here while crappie fishing one evening. Over 27inches. Probably close to 12lbs."
