Re: Lake Mineral Wells State Park

Haven't been out there in a while but it is a great park. Not a "climber" but I do enjoy going over to the area (Penitentiary Hollow) a watching others risk their necks. No equipment rental that I know of but I could be wrong. I very much enjoy hiking the trails around the lake and that will give you a very good work out.
Park has very nice camping with many sites offering some pretty good privacy. Our top choices are Sites 55 and 86. Both are "power & water" sites. Shower houses are always neat and clean.
Lake is nice, if a bit dark at all times and often muddy. I've never had but fair luck as far as fishing goes and it is not a lake I would swim in. Have yet to take the 'yaks out there but it is in the plans for spring.
This is just a quick overview and I'm still looking to write a full review on this park. Need to get out there for a few days to get all the info and pix together to get it done. If you have any other specific questions, post them and see if I can answer them. Until then, have a great trip and,
Happy Camping!
