The Palo Pinto Mountains State Park, 75 miles west of Fort Worth and 75 miles east of Abilene, is located in the town of Strawn on 4,871 acres of undeveloped land., the park will offer 16 to 18 miles of trails for hiking, biking and horse riding. Four separated campgrounds for camping and RVs will also be available. Tucker Lake, the park's centerpiece, will accommodate fishing, swimming and boating. Motorboats will not be allowed.
“Texans are wild about their state parks, with millions choosing to explore Texas’ wild side annually,” said Anne Brown, TPWF Executive Director. “The prospect of a brand-new park also received a warm Texas welcome, and it’s gratifying to see the support from generous donors for Palo Pinto."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
