About Palo Duro State Park
Opened by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in 1934, the grounds cover 28,000 acres spanning Randall and Armstrong counties. The canyon that gives the park its name cuts through the property, forming the central feature of the protected land. Its scale places it among the larger holdings managed by the state agency in Texas.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
