SPOTLIGHT: Cooper State Park
Easily one of Delta County's greatest treasures... weather you're looking for a relaxing weekend getaway, a family camping adventure, excellent fishing opportunities, hiking trails, wildlife viewing, or a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors, Cooper State Park has something for everyone. Nestled along the shores of Cooper Lake, the park offers stunning scenery and countless opportunities to connect with nature.
Recent improvements throughout the park have made it an even better destination, including updated facilities, new roofs on park buildings, and enhancements to recreational areas. Families can enjoy playgrounds, cabins, campsites, picnic areas, and educational programs throughout the year.
The park staff work tirelessly to create memorable experiences for visitors while preserving the natural beauty and wildlife that make this area so special. From fishing and boating to birdwatching and camping under the stars, Cooper State Park is a destination we're fortunate to have right here in our backyard.
With two park units, you’ll find plenty of room to roam. Bring your fishing pole, your hiking shoes, your horse, your swimsuit–or heck, just bring yourself! We’re only 90 minutes northeast of Dallas.
