What is a Special Event or Lake Activity Permit,

and Why Would I Need One?

A Special Event permit or Lake Activity permit is required for all group activities that are larger in scope than a typical "family camping" activity. For example, events at the Magnolia Ridge Kid's Fish Pond, weddings, birthday parties, church or school events, fishing tournaments, boat shows, concerts, charity events or large family reunions must be permitted through the Town Bluff Project Office. Having overlapping events in the same park or recreation area can lead to chaos and conflict; therefore proper scheduling of events is absolutely necessary, and for this reason obtaining the proper permit before holding an event is required. The two types of activities differ in that a Special Event usually involves more participants and impacts more recreation areas than does a Lake Activity, and may require a fee or additional requirements. A Lake Activity permit is issued for an event which typically impacts only one recreation area or campground. To find out more about obtaining either of these permits, please contact the Special Events Coordinator at 409-429-3491, or by email at Events Coordinator. Remember, persons who hold events at Town Bluff, whether on or off the water, without obtaining the proper permit(s) are subject to fines and/or prohibitions on future events

Magnolia Ridge Park Kid's Fish Pond

The Magnolia Ridge Park Kids’ Fish Pond was developed in the mid-1990s (expanded in 2004) at the site of a large artesian spring located within the park.  The pond is designed for use by children 12 years old and younger, as well as adults who are unable to safely fish from a boat or accessible shoreline due to severe physical limitations.  Use of the pond is generally restricted to registered campers and their immediate party.

See Kid's Fish Pond Pamphlet for rules and regulations concerning the fish pond.

Every year Town Bluff Project hosts a Kids’ Fish Day at the pond, as well as multiple nursing home fishing events throughout the year.
