About Zapata, TX

Zapata, TX is located about 40 miles south of the major city of Laredo, TX, both of which are situated along the Mexico-United States border. The Falcon International Reservoir, also known as Falcon Lake, located in the center of the city is regarded as one of the best large mouth bass lakes in the state, which makes Zapata increasingly well-known for its bass-fishing opportunities. This, among other activities, draws both Texas natives and tourists alike to the southern city during the winter months, making the city a popular location for ranching and RV camping.
