Cleburne State Park

About Cleburne State Park

Cleburne State Park is a 528-acre park that includes a spring-fed lake, a stream and a number of hiking trails. The park is located southwest of Fort Worth in Johnson County and was purchased in 1935-36 by the city of Cle Burne and private owners. The park was opened in 1938 and currently hosts about 1,500 visitors a day.

White - hunting of roe deer tails in early spring, covered with white rocky hills, in spring and summer. White-tailed deer, black bears, coyotes, wolves and coyotes are popular fish. Spring bees in and around the park weigh between 1,000 and 2,500 pounds, and trout, salmon, bluefin and whitefish are popular with the fish.

The Comanches used this area as a northwest path to raid farms in the south, and the Indians had two fresh horses who rode a third, but they changed them, one wounded and the other dead. The Cleburne State Park region is one of the most scenic areas in Texas, encompassing a densely wooded area in a mid-level plain and several clear water sources. In this way, they would escape their persecutors, but also their own safety and that of their families.

Eventually, this hidden path was used in 1851 to build Kimbell (now Kim Bell Bend), the first town in Johnson County, and was established on the Chisholm Trail at the intersection of the Brazos River.

The park, which is eight miles north of Kimbell Bend, was also a popular destination for cowboys herding cattle on the Chisholm Trail. North market crowds, along with cattle, sheep, horses and other animals, crossed the Kim Bell Bend and flocked north to the market.

In 1934, the beautiful springs in the valley were recognised as a picturesque park location and a group of local businessmen interested in development secured funding for the construction of a small dam at the northern end of the park. To irrigate the 116 hectare lake and park, the students built a small earth dam, and in 1934 a beautiful spring valley was recognized for its beauty.

In 1936 concession buildings, a boathouse and a bathhouse were built, and in the 1940s more were added. On the walls of the concession building and a number of other buildings, various handmade wood and metal ornaments can be seen.
