Do you long for a quieter and simpler way of life? Wish for nature at your fingertips? Then land or a home on Goose Island, located in Goose Island Estates, is the place for you.
Goose Island State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Texas, located north of the city of Rockport on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The park covers 321.4 acres (130 ha). It is surrounded by both St. Charles and Aransas Bays. The park was established on land acquired from private owners between the years 1931–35. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the earliest facilities
Sighting brown pelicans, the rare whooping crane, and fishing the prolific waters of Aransas, Copano and St. Charles Bays draw campers to this oldest of the Texas coastal state parks. Protected from coastal storms, the park's Lamar Peninsula is a forest of dramatic wind-sculpted trees and home to the "Big Tree," a massive coastal live oak estimated to be more than 1,000 years old that is one of the natural wonders of Texas. Goose Island features a camping area overlooking Aransas Bay but does not have a beach or swimming area.

Although it is located on the seashore, there is no designated swimming area at the park, as the shoreline consists of concrete, oyster shell, mudflat, and marsh grass. Instead, the main park activities include camping, birding, fishing, and boating. The park averages more than 60,000 overnight campers each year and has about 200,000 visitors annually.
In Aransas County and surrounded by the St. Charles and Aransas bays, Goose Island is often overshadowed by popular neighbors such as Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Mustang Island State Park, Port Aransas and Rockport. But with more than 300 acres on the Texas Gulf Coast, the park's bird-watching, fishing, picnicking and bay-front camping make it a worthy destination, too.
Oh, and don't forget the resident Big Tree, a coastal live oak more than 1,000 years old and said to be one of the largest in the nation. The tree is 44 feet tall; it has a circumference of 35 feet and a crown spread of 90 feet.
