    Nice campground among the trees with tons of space between each site and plenty of space to hang out. Enjoyed taking the dogs for a walk down the trails and exploring the park with the kids. Definitely a bit out there with some rough roads to get there, but worth it for the nice quiet remote area. Close enough to make a trip into Abilene and explore there as well.

    Abilene State Park is a wonderful park in Abilene, Texas. It is great for everyone. You can hike the various easy trails, camp in the campsites, stay in a Yurt, stay in a screened shelter, swim, picnic, bike and multiple other activities. Entrance fees are reasonable. I live in California and visiting state parks or National Parks can be expensive. If I remember correctly I believe it was $5 for adults and children under twelve are free. My nieces earned some nice Abilene State Park patches for hiking with us. The facility was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1930's and the park opened in 1934. We had a lot of fun geocaching.

    Abilene State Park was a pretty good park. The longest hike, the Abilene Dam Road hike is actually not in the park but down the road where you park to fish. I had to leave the park to walk here because the road was closed that connects the park. The trails are very short distances here so probably a great place to go with kids. They do have yurts you can sleep in here so that'd be fun.

    Always a good time. Weather im going on a hike, walking the dogs, playing in the lake, or riding my horses it's always a good time. 5$ a person to get in- they always give my dogs treats. Some of the trails are quite rocky for horses but if you explore enough you find some real good and fun ones. The water is also horse friendly as most of the bottom is clean- however some spots of red dirt to get quite sinky. One of the only trail spots for horses in the abilene and with shade and water it's a great spot for summer!

    My summer of parks and wildlife begins with a work trip to this new park for my list of destinations visited this year

    Wonderful state park! I had a great morning birding before work. The camp grounds are well maintained and easy to get to. Nice pool area, and they have yurts to rent! Wow, I mean how neat is that! I've got to come back when I have more time.

    See all
