About Monahans Sandhills State Park
This Texas Parks and Wildlife park protects a large field of wind-sculpted dunes in West Texas. Visitors can explore the sand freely on foot or on horseback, since the park has no marked trails. Sand discs can be rented at headquarters for sledding down the slopes, and the Dunagan Visitor Center covers the area's plants, animals, and history. The park also offers a shaded picnic area near a windmill, a separate equestrian zone, and campsites with water and electricity.
