About Buescher State Park

A donated tract of land forms the core of this park, with the Buescher family and the City of Smithville giving over the acreage that became public ground. The property covers 1,016.7 acres and has been managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department since it opened in 1940. That combination of private gift and municipal contribution shaped how the land came into state hands.

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