Abilene State Park
Tangles of red oak, elm, pecan, and cottonwood trees provide shade from the sweltering summer heat. What’s more, you can check out fishing equipment from a library! What’s not to love?
Aside from fishing, you can kayak, boat, or swim at Lake Abilene. Be sure to check their website because it’s subject to closures during times of drought. 4wd is necessary to launch boats under low water conditions. If the lake is closed you can still take a dip in the historic swimming pool, built in the early 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Get your recreation on in the horseshoe pit, volleyball pit, or basketball court. There’s also a large open field if you’d like to make up your own games.
