About Cross Timbers State Park

Toronto marks the northern edge of this park's grounds, with the protected land sitting just to its south. The park takes its name from the cross timbers region, a transitional belt of woodland that stretches across the area. Visitors can expect terrain shaped by this mix of forest and prairie landscape.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
