Families can bring the kids out to fish in one of the ponds, take a self-guided tour of a working farm, relax by the lake, explore limestone hills and rare prairie pockets, hike, bike, picnic, camp, geocache, nature watch, swim, fish, boat, and paddle.
There are 350 developed campsites with water, electricity, and restrooms with hot showers. 150 sites have sewer hookups, and several sites are ADA-accessible. Campers can also hike to primitive campsites if trails are open.
Visitors can volunteer at the park, serve as park hosts in exchange for free camping, donate to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation, and follow quarantine guidelines to prevent the spread of diseases and pests.
Visitors can explore trails on bike or foot, swim in the lake (when the swim beach reopens in 2022), fish for largemouth black bass, crappie, and catfish, and participate in guided hikes, history and nature programs, and outdoor skills workshops.
The State park is located in the City of Cedar Hill, 20 miles from downtown Dallas and 30 miles from downtown Fort Worth. Visitors can enjoy restaurants, shopping, sports, museums, music, amusement parks, gardens, and more in the surrounding Metroplex area.
