For the Adventurous

Or head to Penitentiary Hollow at Lake Mineral Wells State Park, home to the only natural rock-climbing area in North Texas. Climb, top-rope, rappel, and feel the exhilaration of conquering the 20’–40′ sandstone walls amidst the magical maze of rocks and majestic cedar elm trees.
Water Adventures Await
For a slower and cooler pace, indulge in canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and fishing on the serene lakes. Experience the tranquility of the Brazos River by floating leisurely in a tube. For a more extended water retreat, embark on a 1-, 2-, or 4-day trip that showcases the most scenic part of the river Texas has to offer.
