Cedar Hill State Park Details
A short drive from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, this park features the Joe Pool Lake, tall-grass prairie areas, and remnants of an 1850s farmhouse available to explore. The Penn Farm Agricultural History Center manages the farmhouse and provides self-guided and guided tours throughout the year. The 7,500-acre Joe Pool Lake provides a gravel swimming beach (the swim beach is closed until 2022), the opportunity to fish for largemouth black bass, crappie, and catfish, and plenty of space for boating. The Dallas Off Road Biking Association (DORBA) helped build the DORBA Trail - which covers over 1,200-acres and open to bikers and hikers. There are 350 developed campsites available for overnight camping. The park's bird residents cover almost 200 species including the chance to spot the greater roadrunner.
