State Park Guide

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

If you want to know Texas, get to know state parks.

We have ninety-three state parks and historic sites and state natural areas, and they represent a real cross-section of what is Texas. The lands, the culture, and all kinds of things.

Walt Dabney, Director of Texas State, says the new state park guide simplifies navigation of the park system.

The guide lists all the parks. It lists the different kinds of activities and so forth that you can do in those parks. It gives you a description about each one of the parks. Of course, in conjunction with the Texas Parks and Wildlife website, you’ve got lots of information.

The guide is a great companion for your road trips.

This guide is certainly something that you could keep handy in your glove compartment. It is a great planning tool. And, I’ll tell you, that the way gas prices are going today, parks are going to be even more attractive as a great place to go to, and kind of stay put, and just have a wonderful time.

We have more information on the state park guide at passporttotexas.org.
