First tome visiting and we love it. Great trails-some more challenging than others. Trail map is well labeled, and the trails as well. Camping sites look great-the entire area feels very safe.

I enjoyed hiking the trails to take a break from the highway while on a roadtrip. It was well worth the $3 entrance fee. While I've seen prettier landscapes, the ones at Lockhart are decent. No waterfalls, apparwntly, the creek onky flows when it rains... But there are a few nice views from the higher elevations of the hiking trails. They have some flatter trails and a few that are more challenging. I hiked several as they were short. I managed to finish 5 in 30 minutes, and it was an enjoyable hike. Lockhart also has a golf course, camping spots, and a swimming pool (in season). It would make a nice place to camp out for a weekend get-away. The gentleman at the office was kind and helpful.

Nice little park. We did not try out the pool or the golf course but the trails were nice, and the location to the town was good. Google maps had us go down the incorrect turn- in, and it was a bit of an issue with a 35ft trailer... But one of the park hosts (after-hours!) helped guide us through the overgrown trees and saved us from damaging our camper. Overall very pleasant experience, and we appreciated the quick downhill trails on the bikes

Very peaceful. We stayed in an RV. Nice trails, small fishing creeks, sure to see wild life. We also visited the pool which had a friendly group working there. Park rangers and office personnel were helpful too. Small gift shop inside with a few necessity options but town is just a few miles down the road.

If you're trying to avoid the crowds and still have some nice outdoor time, this is a great park for a day or weekend visit. It's quiet, more rustic than some of the other state parks I've visited, and it has a pool! That's always a big plus for these hot Texas days. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the welcome center had some great, affordable snacks and souvenirs. I was just visiting for a day to check the park out and hike the few miles of trail offered. I enjoyed my visit, but this park is definitely not a hikers park. The 9-hole golf course was a unique feature and the playground was well maintained. There were quite a few people out fishing during my visit if that's something you're interested in doing too. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this park, simply because it's so small, but if you're passing through or looking to stay for a night and can snag a camping spot, it's great.
