LAKE MINERAL WELLS SP: A complete park for a complete 
outdoor adventure ... details ahead on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

When you visit Lake Mineral Wells SP, recreational 
opportunities from hiking to horseback riding await 
you -- because as out SP Guide Bryan Frazier says: it is a 
complete park.

63 -- By complete park we mean, it has a lot of different 
recreational opportunities. No matter what people are 
interested in doing outdoors ... there's great camping, you've got 
more than 70 developed campsites, you've got lots of primitive 
campsites, you've got screened shelters, but you've also got a 
650 acre lake that's great for fishing from everything from 
sunfish to catfish to bass. You've got beautiful scenery with big 
limestone hills. You've got rappelling and rock climbing; it's 
one of the few places you can do -- certainly in North Texas -- 
with legitimate rock-climbing opportunities, and it's very, very 
popular for that. And it's just one of those picturesque parks -- it 
even has a group dining hall. So, people can go there and spend 
a day trip. It's very accessible from the Fort Worth area -- it's 
actually right on the edge of the city of Mineral Wells. Or, you 
can spend several days. Camp. Hike. It's 38-hundered acres, so 
it's a nice big park. More than sixteen miles of hiking and 
biking trails ... it really is one of those park experiences that 
someone can spend as much time as they wanted to and not do 
the same thing twice.

Thanks Bryan.

That's our show for today ... with funding provided by
