About Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center
Sheldon Lake reservoir spans much of the park's grounds, anchoring 2,789 acres set aside for outdoor education. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department manages the site as both a state park and an environmental learning facility, a dual purpose that has shaped its use since it was established. Visitors here encounter a landscape organized around teaching as much as recreation.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
