The south shore of Canyon Lake includes Cranes Mill Park and Comal Park. Both parks are set on peninsulas that jut from the south shore of Canyon Lake. Cranes Mill Park is located near the Guadalupe River’s inlet to Canyon Lake. Both of these sites offer clear views of migrating hawks and wintering gulls and terns. Look for Bufflehead, Northern Shoveler, Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal, Redhead, Gadwall, and American Wigeon. Ring-billed and Bonaparte’s Gulls are common, but look for migrating Franklin’s Gulls, too. Forster’s Terns winter here. Cranes Mill Park also contains grass fields productive for wintering sparrows. Tom Creek Cove is summer home to nesting Blue Grosbeak, Northern Parula, and Golden-cheeked and Yellow-throated Warblers. To reach Comal Park, exit Cranes Mill Park on county road that becomes FM 2673. Go 3.5 miles east to Startzville. Turn left/north onto Canyon Bend Drive and follow road signs 2.3 miles to Comal Park.
