A quiet little park. You can fish or camp or just walk around and enjoy nature. There are flush toilets and a large covered table area for large get to gethers, i.e., reunions, church gatherings, etc. At the other end of the park, there are individual tables with pergolas over them, for single families to enjoy a lunch or just sit and unwind. There are no facilities for children to play on. Several campsites with tables and fire rings are available for tent camping or roughing it. There is also a 2 week time limit here. Dogs must be on a leash. And remember, it's FREE!!!
Soldiers Bluff Park gives a great look at the dam. It was a cold and rainy day that we were going through on our tour of the Hill Country in November, but the photos did not disappoint. If you are a photographer, you should put this little pin in your trip. I had great clouds and it gave us a good place to stretch our legs. There was no fee, maybe because it was off season, and a great place to stop and enjoy Lake Whitney.
Great for free camping (minus men's room out of order for over a month now(just use women's)). Right on highway so a bit noisy. Haven't encountered hogs sniffing around tent, that's a bonus. Great lakeside view and good spot to cast a line if you don't wanna catch anything and just kill time.
I spent a few hours hiking around on November 16th as I was waiting for my car's oil change down at Rankin's. It was a nice, cool, cloudy day so I just walked around taking pictures and just enjoying my time alone.
Very impressed by the cleanliness of the area. Love fishing at Soldiers Bluff because it’s so peaceful me and my family been fishing there for years, and this time the bathrooms were clean and very kept up! The campsite was nice as well and the people watching over the sites were very nice!
