Fairfield Lake State Park, State park in Freestone County, United States.
The 1,460-acre park features a 2,400-acre lake surrounded by forested areas, offering water activities and extensive hiking trails through natural landscapes.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired the land in 1976, establishing recreational facilities near a dam constructed by Texas Power and Light Company in 1969.
The Chancellor Union Cemetery within the park contains graves of early settlers, including veterans from the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.
The park provided 136 campsites with amenities such as RV pads, grills, fire rings, picnic tables, and access to restrooms with shower facilities.
In 2023, the park closed after a private developer purchased the land, leading to unsuccessful attempts by Texas authorities to acquire it through eminent domain.
