About Bonham State Park

Bonham State Park sits northeast of Dallas and offers a lakeside setting with hilly trails and a historic Depression-era past. Visitors can camp with hookups or tent sites, hike or bike the park's trails, fish from a pier, and rent paddle boats, kayaks, or canoes on the lake. Group facilities include a barracks, a pavilion, and a group camp for reunions and retreats. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the park in the 1930s, and ranger programs cover its nature and history. Nearby attractions include the hometown of Sam Rayburn and the Eisenhower Birthplace state historic site.
