This is Passport to Texas

Folks living in the Fort Worth area have something to look 
forward to: Palo Pinto Mountains State Park. Our state 
park guide, Bryan Frazier, has details.

51 -- We're so excited to be able to talk about Palo Pinto 
Mountains State Park. It's just outside the little town of Strawn, 
and it's about an hour's drive from the Fort Worth Metroplex. It's 
that beautiful north Texas Hill Country, which is actually part of 
an ancient mountain range - the Palo Pinto Mountains. So, this is 
33-hundred acres that's going to be developed, and we've already 
hired one park employee there. The master planning has begun. 
We're going to take a real hard look at how we can develop this 
efficiently to utilize what's there. There's a 90 acre lake there, 
there's pecan bottoms, and just this beautiful ecosystem that's 
primed and ready for park development. And the future of this 
park will depend on what funds are available that are able to be 
put toward park development. But the planning is underway; so, 
stay tuned for future updates for that park.

Thanks Bryan

That's our show for today ... with funding provided by 
Chevrolet, supporting outdoor recreation in Texas; because 
there's life to be done.
