DAINGERFIELD STATE PARK: This old park is open for new 
business ... we'll tell you which it is on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Daingerfield State park is open for business after being 
closed for a year. Our state park guide, Bryan Frazier 
explains.

50 -- It was closed for a year. It's been totally renovated. I mean, 
renovations on CCC structures down at the boat house; the state 
park store; the cabins were recently renovated; the campsites. We 
went from 10 full hookups with water, electric and sewer to 40! 
The lake is in great shape. It's a beautiful park in the Pineywoods 
in Northeast Texas, and now it's open for reservations including 
the group lodge that sleeps up to 14 or 15. It's been completely 
renovated with new fixtures and new appliances, and I think 
people are going to enjoy what they find there. And what you 
mentioned to me before I turned on my recorder s that the lake 
has not been fished in a year. It has not. And I was up there and 
fished it, and the fishing is quite good for things like largemouth 
bass and even chain pickerel, which if you live in NE Texas, it's a 
pretty common fish, but if you if you live in other parts of the 
state -- it's not. It's a Texas Pike. So, get on up to Daingerfield SP. 
Make those reservations as soon as you can, as soon as you know 
where you're going to be, because people are finding out that that 
place is a hot ticket right now.

Thanks, Bryan
