Hell's Gate is a popular party area on Lake PK. It is also the venue of one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in Texas on July 4th Weekend.
The area is defined by two big cliffs standing as a gate to a Cove on Lake PK's south end tip. In summer people bring their boats for relaxation and party. The place is expected to be filled with boats on Independence Day Weekend so get there early to book your spot in the cove.
Most of the locals as well as visitors from all over Texas flock to Hell's Gate for the fireworks show. The unique fireworks display is a one-of-a-kind show that you only need to see to believe. You can view it on the water, or from shore at the YMCA camp.
Cliff Diving Competition
