Lockhart State Park, State park in Caldwell County, United States.
Lockhart State Park is a recreation area in Caldwell County spanning around 263 acres with walking trails, camping facilities, and a golf course. The park sits along Clear Fork Creek and provides spaces for fishing, golfing, and overnight stays within a wooded setting.
The park was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, which constructed stone buildings and water control structures. This work was part of a broader employment program during the Great Depression.
The Battle of Plum Creek, which occurred near the park, marks a significant conflict between Texas settlers and Comanche tribes in 1840.
The park has fishing spots along Clear Fork Creek where anglers can fish without a special license and borrow equipment on site. The camping areas and trails are generally accessible during daylight hours and clearly marked throughout the grounds.
The grounds feature a nine-hole golf course that was built by a public works program during the Great Depression. This makes it an uncommon recreation facility among Texas state parks.
