Fort Parker State Park, State park in Limestone County, Texas
Fort Parker State Park extends across 1,458 acres of land featuring oak trees, pecan groves, and a large lake formed by the Navasota River.
The Civilian Conservation Corps Company constructed the park's infrastructure between 1935 and 1942, including a 423-foot dam that created Lake Fort Parker.
The Old Springfield Cemetery within the park marks the location of Springfield, a former county seat that declined after the Civil War.
The park offers three distinct hiking trails, camping facilities, boat rentals, and a nature center that operates every weekend throughout the year.
Lake Fort Parker contains multiple fishing piers and provides opportunities to observe native Texas wildlife in their natural environment.
