About Eisenhower State Park

Lake Texoma's shoreline forms the setting for this 423.1-acre park, managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. It carries the name of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president, who was born in nearby Denison. Though state records date its establishment to 1954, the park itself did not open to the public until 1958.

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