My Favorite State Park

  • Great rock climbing
  • Awesome hiking trails and nature…love the quiet solitude
  • Watching the sunsets from the viewing blinds
  • Lots of wildlife..Deer, Robin's
  • Multiple fishing piers and one of lit fishing pier
  • Park store that sells bait and rents kayaks & canoes

This is my favorite State Park. As you drive over the dam to get to the camp site, there is usually a big sigh and you can feel your body relax. The hiking trails are awesome, wooded and peaceful. Usually as the dad, I am the one pushing the kids to go on a hike, but at this park it is the other way round. My eight and six year old's, wake me up wanting to go hiking and rock climbing. One weekend we counted that we had seen at least twenty-four deer.

Watching the sunset from the viewing blind is mesmerizing. We love the lit fishing piers, after the kids are in bed, can indulge in some "me" time with a nice cigar and a couple of beers in a folding chair.

And stop by Outlaw BBQ in Weatherford while you are there. They have some of the best breakfast burritos.
