Fort Boggy State Park Details

Named after the fort that was constructed in 1840 by the Republic of Texas, this park encompasses wooded hills, meadows, and a 15-acre lake. Early settlers came under frequent attacks by the local Keechi and Kickapoo Native Americans so they built a fort to protect themselves in 1840. After the attacks decreased, the fort was abandoned. It wasn't until 2001 that the park was opened Visitors can enjoy 3.5-miles of trails available for hiking and mountain biking, swimming, and boating on the 15-acres lake, as well as fishing from the pier. Primitive campsites and cabins are available for overnight camping.
