It may be beneficial to bring hammocks and cots when staying overnight, as some of the camping grounds are rockier than others.
Very well kept park, and lake. Only downside is the boys scouts that come here are very loud and disruptive at night. Where is the respect for the peacefulness for nature. There are also campers that drive about speeding and yelling at night on the park's roads. Why are the park officials not responding to this disregard and disrespectfulness.
So very clean and nice facility my only complaint would be the boat dock it needs to either have some tires or new bumper pad added to it
Another great, amazing State Park in Texas! Its only about and hour west of Fort Worth. We spent 3 days at the park in the middle of June and opted for a shelter instead of having to pitch a tent. After this experience, I may not pitch a tent again if the parks we visit have shelters. It is so much quicker and easier to not have mess with the tent. Shelters are a little small but we were about to get 3 queen size air mattresses fully inflated with the table still inside. Spent a lot of time in and around the shelter enjoying the landscape and views. Plenty of trees to hang hammocks and each shelter has a fire ring, BBQ pit and some open areas.The riding trails are nice but since they are share with equestrian riding, the ground is soft and it makes for a tiring bike ride. It was a relaxing time in spite of the heat, but the lake and trees kept thing bearable. The view are amazing! The town of Mineral Wells is close by especially when you need to make that quick grocery store run into town. Weekends are always packed so if you can spare a few days during the week, that is best.
The park is relatively small in terms of the different types of trails available for hiking. I used the extra long (the trek took about 5 hours of power walking/trudging), flat horse trail, without a horse... which made it hard to enjoy (my fault) as I kept my eyes to the ground most of the time to avoid poop. There was a shorter trail with lots of rocks and uneven terrain outlining the lake which was very fun to explore. Only small deer poop here. The trees take on a variety of reds and yellows in the fall season. Shelter and restroom facilities were well maintained and the rangers/staff were very nice.
One of my fave local hiking spots complete with old trees, rocks and a lake side trail. Climbing available and some moderate elevation. Maintained well.
