Another great, amazing State Park in Texas! Its only about and hour west of Fort Worth. We spent 3 days at the park in the middle of June and opted for a shelter instead of having to pitch a tent. After this experience, I may not pitch a tent again if the parks we visit have shelters. It is so much quicker and easier to not have mess with the tent. Shelters are a little small but we were about to get 3 queen size air mattresses fully inflated with the table still inside. Spent a lot of time in and around the shelter enjoying the landscape and views. Plenty of trees to hang hammocks and each shelter has a fire ring, BBQ pit and some open areas.The riding trails are nice but since they are share with equestrian riding, the ground is soft and it makes for a tiring bike ride. It was a relaxing time in spite of the heat, but the lake and trees kept thing bearable. The view are amazing! The town of Mineral Wells is close by especially when you need to make that quick grocery store run into town. Weekends are always packed so if you can spare a few days during the week, that is best.

Unique developed state park on US 180 immediately east of the town of Mineral Wells. Built around a central lake, the park has three distinct areas--the western shore of the lake, which contains screen shelters, camping areas, and a trail system with a small primitive campground, the Penitentiary Hollow area east of the lake, with picnic areas and trails on a high bluff above the water, and a central area at the south end of the lake, with the park store, fishing area, and canoe rentals. Excellent facilities for both campers and day use patrons.

One of my fave local hiking spots complete with old trees, rocks and a lake side trail. Climbing available and some moderate elevation. Maintained well.

A nice campground, and lots of hiking trails. A downside is that the lake is a no wake lake, and you cannot take motorboat on it, but it is nice for canoeing, kayaking, etc. On a negative note, there is also a program that is using the campgrounds as a base to help newly released prisoners reenter, and that made the stay a little uncomfortable at times.

One of the best state parks that I have been to. I ride the trail between Mineral Wells and Weatherford several times a month. There is a trail head at the state park as well. It is a wonderful trail to ride but some areas need some maintenance.
