From Interstate 35 in Belton, Texas take Highway 190 west to the Simmons Road exit. Cross under the highway and turn west on Farm-to-Market Road 2410. Turn left (south) on Commanche Gap Road and drive for five miles to reach the park.
Def a surprise for us, it’s just an hour away from Austin downtown area. We read this park only open from May to end of September due to funding issue. But it’s a very maintained park, we loved the white rocky hiking trail and the plants here. It has water, mountain and shade.
There aren’t too many sign and a visitor center, they could use more 🪧 signs, we weren’t so sure where to go. But glad we have all trail, did a short but lovely walk
Challenging trails with great vertical climbs and views of the lake and sunset/sunrise.
In the past 13 years this has been one place that continues to grow even more beautiful with time. Hiking in the Fall while the leaves are changing and lakeside swimming in the summer...small town living at its best.
Bring your furry loved ones as long as they are leashed....lake rules 😊.
Great walking and biking trails! I walk my dog in that area. Very seldom do I ever see the same place twice. There is so much there!
We really had fun camping here. I recommend getting ant repellent spray. There’s water as well as electricity. You can enjoy playing volleyball, fishing, swimming, and flying kites. Best thing is there’s a gas station 10 mins drive away in case you need to buy some drink, ice, or firewood.
