Welcome to the Americas Best Value Inn of Eagle Pass, Texas. Eagle Pass began as a temporary settlement at the Rio Grande during the Mexican War. Today Eagle Pass is an international gateway and tourist center, the seat of Maverick County, and a retail shipping center for the 40,000 acre irrigated winter-garden region. The international bridge to Piedras Negras crosses the Rio Grande, connecting US 57 with Mexico 57, and leads to a scenic drive through Sierra Madre.
Sportsmen enjoy fishing for the famously large Rio Grande catfish and hunting for white-tailed deer and upland game birds. Eight miles south of Eagle Pass is the 125 acre Kickapoo Indian Federal Reservation. Visit Fort Duncan, which was established in 1849 and was the previous home of three companies of the 1st U.S. Infantry Regiment, as well as Confederate troops during the Civil War.
