Purtis Creek

Participated in the Bow hunting Demonstration at Purtis Creek State Park and got to meet several Texas Parks & Wildlife volunteers as well as Purtis Creek State Park staff including the superintendent. I am solidly impressed with this park and will definitely visit again soon. Thank you TPWD for an amazing weekend.

The calm lake was perfect for paddleboarding. Easy access launch by the boat ramp as well. I saw kayaks available for rent as well (no paddleboards). Trails are well marked and easy to navigate. Raccoons will get into your put up high trash. Take it to the nearby dumpster when camping before you go to bed!

Nice quiet park. Sites are level and easy to get into. Park staff very friendly. Hike trails are well maintained. Two fishing piers. We tried to catch but didnt have any luck behind our camp site.

This is a great state park close to Dallas Fort Worth, Metroplex lake has a history of some really great bass fishing the campsites, both with electrical and primitive are well laid out, and you’re not very close to your neighbor. There are kayaks for rent at the boat launch. If you’re bringing your own boat, this is an “idle only” lake. The lake is known for bass but there is also a lot of great catfish in the lake too.

I had an amazing time at Purtis Creek State Park! The park is peaceful, clean, and not too crowded, which made it super relaxing. The lake is beautiful, great for fishing, kayaking, or just sitting by the water to enjoy the view. Trails are easy to walk and well-marked, with plenty of shade along the way. Campsites were clean, spacious, and felt private enough for a quiet stay. BTW, the restrooms were super cleaned and entry fee is $5 per person. Child under 12 is no cost. Overall, it’s a great spot to escape the city, recharge, and spend quality time outdoors. Definitely planning to go back!
