Comments:

This is a fairly small state park, but it provides very scenic views of Lake Texana. It caters primarily to campers and fishermen, but there are 6 miles of trails that criss-cross throughout the park. The outer boundary trail is not as scenic as the trails that run through the inner sections of the park. The most scenic trail, in my opinion, is trail 3. BTW, be sure to ask the Park HQ for a trail map since I do not believe it is available for download online.

Hiking this park is easy and can be accomplished in a couple of hours. The trails are wide and very well maintained. There are numerous benches throughout the park to rest underneath the shade of some very nice oak trees.
