About Lockhart State Park

Lockhart State Park sits on the southwestern edge of Lockhart, within easy driving distance of Austin and San Antonio. Visitors can play a nine-hole golf course that was built during the New Deal, rent clubs and carts, camp under tall trees along Clear Fork Creek, and walk or bike interconnected trails. Anglers can fish the creek without a license, and the park loans fishing gear on a first-come basis. A seasonal swimming pool, a playground, and a basketball court round out the day-use options. The park's group hall was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the park is a short drive from the city known as the Barbecue Capital of Texas.
