The new, nearby Palo Pinto County State Park is coming in 2023!! Several 1,400-foot peaks, the 90-acre Tucker Lake, and two creeks surrounded by stands of live oak, mesquite, cedar elms and native pecan trees will provide a wonderful setting for hiking, mountain biking, camping, horseback riding, fishing, and stargazing. This “hill country of the north” is a short drive from Interstate 20, making the park extremely accessible for thousands of DFW Metroplex residents. The main buildings and amenities in the new park will be concentrated in a 140-acre area, leaving the majority of the park lightly developed with many miles of soft, earthen trails available for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. .
