About Palo Pinto Mountains State Park
Drive about 75 miles west of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and you’ll enter the Palo Pinto Mountains. Just north of the freeway lies 4,871 acres of former ranchland that is now Palo Pinto Mountains State Park. This brand-new park offers access to rugged, beautiful terrain. Get away from the city and watch for wildlife, enjoy the views and night skies, and listen for trains passing by. The park is home to endangered golden-cheeked warblers – look for splashes of yellow in the oak and Ashe juniper trees in spring.
