Daingerfield State Park

Daingerfield State Park is a forested area covering 506 acres with an 80-acre lake at its center. The property includes fishing piers, boat ramps, trails, and recreational amenities spread throughout the grounds.

The park was established in 1935 when the Civilian Conservation Corps built the dam and created the lake. They also replanted forests in areas that had been cleared by timber harvesting operations.

The park hosts ranger-led programs where visitors learn about local animals such as white-tailed deer and various bird species found in the area. These educational sessions reflect how the natural landscape connects the community to their regional wildlife.

The park offers multiple places to stay including tent sites, RV hookups with full utilities, and furnished cabins with bathrooms and kitchens. Book accommodations ahead of time, particularly during warmer months when the park gets busier.

The Mountain View Trail climbs to the highest point in the park where visitors can see the surrounding woodland and the lake below. This elevated vantage point reveals the landscape of the East Texas Pineywoods in a way most visitors miss.
