Lockhart State Park Details
This park is a year-round destination for visitors and locals of Texas. Between the forests of southern live oaks and black walnut trees, you'll find a wonderland of scenic beauty. The meandering creeks, the trickling waterfalls, and the lush, shady foliage are just a few noteworthy things to see during your visit. The county broke ground in the park in the mid-1930s after working out a deal with the Civilian Conservation Corps. They built bridges, picnic tables, a dance pavilion, and even a water tower, all of which can still be seen today. With the help of the Works Progress Administration, the CCC also built a golf course, which remains one of the most popular attractions of the park. If you're looking to play around, golf carts and clubs can be rented on-site. You can also spend the day fishing off the Clear Fork Creek or hiking one of the numerous nature trails. At night, retreat back to your campsite for a night of BBQ and stargazing.
