We hiked through the entire North Prong Trail which totaled about 7 miles and it was truly gorgeous. There were some difficult moments at points, but nothing I couldn't do.

Also be aware that their deck clock is 4-5 minutes ahead of time & you will be asked to get out earlier than the actual time. This clock was also running ahead of time last summer.

We saw lots of families here when we brought the kids here to play. There is a church next door and a school right across the street so it feels like a perfectly safe place to bring the kids to play.

Had to climb up in a few places and hoist my dog up some shelves. Beautiful views of the canyons and rivers. We heard coyotes several times each night. It's a dark skies park, so if you're into stargazing this is the place for you. CONS: Back to the firewood. The parks always say not to bring wood because it can spread insects to the area, but they did not have any firewood available for purchase. Had to leave and drive to Quannah, and the only wood they had was pinon which is not good for cooking. Hope to save you a trip! Restrooms were very dirty and full of bugs - I mean covered. Took one pretty gross shower. The worst state park restrooms I have seen. The second night we had a noisy group using a generator all afternoon and evening until 10 pm (in the tent camping area) and playing loud music. I don't get why people go to nature to drive the animals away with their noise. Wish the employees had circulated more and noticed. We left early, not just because of the restrooms and other campers. There was also not much to do since the lake is low and the swimming area is closed. There is no visitor center, shaded bird watching area or anything else to do during the hot part of the day.

There's a large playground, the Amarillo Botanical Garden next door and a 1 mile loop around the pond which made it easy to do my runs. I was warned about the geese infestation and the possibility of geese poop on the trail. I didn't see any while I was visiting, but I thought that was worth noting. There's an extended part of the trail but you have to cross traffic for it, so the one mile loop worked best for me. A lot of people were walking the trail through my three visits, a school bus was there with kids in the playground and on Saturday plenty of people were fishing in the pond. A really great and well maintained park!

I stopped by not expecting much, and ended up staying longer than planned. The lake in the middle is calm and relaxing, with ducks waddling around like they own the place (and honestly, they do). There's a playground that kids were loving, plenty of open space, and shady spots to kick back. Everything was clean, safe, and just felt easy. Whether you want to stretch your legs, feed the ducks, or just enjoy some sunshine, Medi Park is one of those simple, happy places that makes a town feel like home. Five stars, no doubt.

This topography with the boundary of large shade trees and a large open area makes this the perfect spot to play with the pup. You can rarely drive by without seeing a lab or two playing with each other or chasing down a frisbee. Plentiful parking and its central location makes this my choice when letting the dogs run and be crazy

A day pass is $8.00 and is good till 10:00PM (you can leave and come back). They give you a map as well. You can drive the whole thing and see a lot from your car. There's also plenty of pull-offs for picture opportunities. For ones that like hiking, there's plenty of that there. I'm not big into hiking, and I also didn't pack to do so. Lol. There is cave you see from the road, and if you want you can do a short hike to it. I wasn't on planning really hiking anywhere but this was short enough. Easy to get up, going down you have to be a lil careful. Good place for pictures too. Camping ground are available too. Anyways, if you're in town visiting or never have been there, I definitely recommend it!

But you can only drive 16 miles on a paved road. Then you turn around and drive back. Palo Duro Canyon State Park officially opened on July 4,1934 and it cost $8.00 a person to enter. You can camp in tents-RVs with electricity and water. Also rental cabins that look pretty cool overlooking the canyon. Picnic tables and various locations over 40 miles of hiking and biking trails. They have stables with guided horseback rides. Parks Museum store has exhibits about history, geology, and wildlife. They have a natural observatory for birdwatching. And a trading post with restaurant and a park store. During the summer hours an open air outdoor drama theater nestled at the foothills of the cliff. This is a beautiful state park and we're glad we seen it.
