RV & Trailer Towing in Lake City, TX.

What is rv & trailer towing like in Lake City, TX?

Lake City sits right on Lake Corpus Christi at FM 1068.

Lake City is a small incorporated municipality of about 447 people on the southwest shore of Lake Corpus Christi, connected to Mathis by FM 1068. The town is three and a half miles west of Mathis and close enough to the lake that most of the traffic through here is headed to or from the State Park ramps. That makes boat-trailer towing the dominant call type, a trailer with a flat tire on FM 1068, a truck that runs hot while pulling a loaded bass boat uphill, or a trailer that slides off the ramp at the Opossum Bend or Mesquite launch sites. Lake Corpus Christi State Park handles a lot of recreation traffic, but the park can't recover vehicles that get stuck or break down outside its gates. RV and camping traffic is another real factor here. The State Park's camping loops run year-round, and a disabled RV that can't be driven out needs a truck with enough capacity to move it safely down FM 1068 back toward I-37. Most city-based light-duty tow companies aren't set up for that kind of call. We are. Lake City itself has no commercial tow service, everyone here calls from outside town, which means response time depends entirely on who you call and how quickly they can get to FM 1068. The community skews older and more retirement-oriented than the surrounding county, median age of 46 compared to Mathis's 36. A lot of the lakefront properties are weekend homes or seasonal residences for families from Corpus Christi and San Antonio. Out-of-town drivers who don't know FM 1068's curves or the weight limits on the local roads can find themselves in trouble fast, especially when they're pulling a boat trailer they don't drive with regularly. We know these roads and we know the lake area. Call (361) 967-8088.
