About Lake Whitney State Park
A 775-acre tract along Lake Whitney forms the core of this park, opened in 1965 and run by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The acreage sets the scale of the grounds visitors can explore around the reservoir. It has operated under state management for roughly six decades, placing it among the department's longer-established holdings in this part of Texas.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
