Visiting Del Rio

Del Rio offers a variety of attractions for the out-of-town visitor.

     Laughlin Air Force Base, just a few miles east of Del Rio, is the largest pilot training base in the Air Force, and the fourth busiest airport in the world.


       Lake Amistad, one of Texas' largest lakes, offers camping, waterskiing, wake-boarding, nature hikes, and fishing. Bass, catfish, sunfish, and gar are plentiful, as well as fish species. Del Rio is an outdoorsman's paradise. Lake Amistad is famous for its fishing, and hunters visit Del Rio from across the country for the variety of game available.

    The Whitehead Memorial Museum is a collection of Del Rio's historical buildings. There is an authentic log cabin, a copy of Judge Roy Bean's Jersey Lily Saloon, a replica of a Spanish Mission, and cultural folk art.
    The Firehouse Gallery is one of Del Rio's several art galleries and studios, housed in the old firehouse, city hall and jail building. Celebrate First Fridays on the first Friday of every month, touring Del Rio's local art galleries.
      Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, just across the border, offers a wide variety of nightclubs, sports bars, and other evening entertainment. There's also plenty of shopping, and, of course, great Mexican food.
