McClellan Creek National Grassland

McClellan Creek National Grassland spans 1,449 acres of rolling terrain with native grasses, wildlife habitats, and a central reservoir at 891 meters elevation.

The land transformed from private homesteads to public grassland in the 1930s through the Land Utilization Program, addressing severe drought and soil erosion issues.

This grassland preserves the natural heritage of Texas Panhandle, reflecting traditional land management practices of the American Great Plains region.

Visitors can access camping facilities with electrical hookups, showers, and waste stations, while engaging in fishing, hiking, and ATV riding activities.

In 2006, the Interstate 40 fire consumed 750,000 acres, including the entire McClellan Creek National Grassland, leading to substantial environmental changes.
