Cooper Lake State Park Details
Composed of two park units, there's plenty of space to hike, fish, or swim. The north unit is known as Doctor Creek, and the south unit is South Sulphur. The 19,300-acres lake was created not long ago - in 1991 - and supplies water for the surrounding communities. Thousands of years ago, the Caddo Native Americans first frequented this area. However, any traces of early settlers are now deep under the lake waters. Both park units include several hiking trails to explore. For anglers, there are numerous fishing piers throughout the park offering the opportunity to catch a catfish, bluegill, Florida largemouth bass, crappie, or hybrid striped bass. Camping is available at both units, as well as screened shelters and cabins available at the South Sulphur unit. Entrance Fees: - Adult: $5 Daily - Child 12 Years and Under: Free Reservations are available [online] (https://texasstateparks.reserveamerica.com/cooper-lake-state-park-doctors-creek/r/facilityDetails.do?contractCode=TX&parkId=1200115) or by calling (512) 389-8900 The park often reaches capacity so reservations are highly recommended for both camping and day use.
