The Mustang Island Paddling Trail consists of three connected routes (North Trail 8. 5 miles, Shamrock Loop 5. 24 miles, Ashum Trail 6. 8 miles) totaling over 20 miles through shallow Corpus Christi Bay waters ideal for kayaking and fishing.

Access points include Wilson's Cut (sandy road, higher clearance recommended), Fish Pass at Mustang Island State Park (sandy entrance), and Island Moorings Marina in Port Aransas (requires 50-yard kayak carry from parking).

The trails pass through some of Texas's best shallow-water fishing areas and offer outstanding bird watching opportunities, though paddlers should check tides before departing as some sections may not be floatable at low tide.
