Natural beauty aside, the trail system is what makes Caprock Canyons one of Texas’ best state parks: 90 miles of outstanding and diverse hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, including 26 miles in the park proper and another 64 miles on the Trailways System, a rails-to-trails project. Many visitors are just content to drop a line in the serene waters of little Lake Theo.
The park is home to a donated bison herd from the JA Ranch – the very herd started by pioneer rancher Charles Goodnight in 1876.
