Big Spring State Park, State park on Scenic Mountain in Big Spring, Texas.
Located at an elevation of 200 feet, this 382-acre park contains limestone formations, desert plants, and a three-mile paved loop road around Scenic Mountain.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park facilities in 1934 using limestone blocks quarried on-site, creating structures that include a pavilion and headquarters building.
Native American artifacts and geological specimens from the region are displayed at the seasonal interpretive center, showcasing the area's rich heritage.
Visitors can access hiking trails, mountain biking paths, picnic areas, restroom facilities, and a park store located at the summit of Scenic Mountain.
The Big Spring Film Society presents outdoor movie screenings during summer months at the mountain summit, featuring science fiction films against the night sky.
