Plan to join us at the newly-opened Palo Pinto State Park on the weekend of October 2-4, 2026! Come for the weekend or just come for a day hike and picnic on Saturday. Palo Pinto, the state's newest state park, officially opened in March 2026 after many years of encouragement and support by our Sierra Club members.
Palo Pinto is about 75 miles west of Fort worth. The Park encompasses over 4,800 acres of former ranchland, where guests can bike, camp, fish and hike on 16 miles of trails. Trail systems range from family-friendly routes to more moderate hikes.
Camping reservations are available starting May 3 for the October weekend and are expected to fill up quickly. Likewise day passes may be limited for October, so we recommend day-trippers also reserve your day passes early. Campers will need to bring your own camping gear. If you would like to camp in coordination with our Sierra Group, please contact the trip leader Carla at cegyed@sbcglobal.net. Picnic goers - stay tuned as we get closer for picnic suggestions and details.
