Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fairfield Lake State Park adventure.
Ever been in a hot tub the size of a city? Well now's your chance!
Bathers come from far and wide to enjoy the heated waters thanks to the TXU Big Brown power plant! Don't worry, it's not as suspicious as it sounds. The waters, which sometimes reach as high as 107 degrees Fahrenheit, simply act as a cooling reservoir for the plant.
This Texas state park is a particularly good spot for nature study and bird watching. Between November and February, you've got a solid chance of spying majestic bald eagles. Fairfield is also a great destination for amateur fishermen. The lake is home to freshwater redfish, largemouth bass, carp and more. Bring your own canoe or kayak, or just hit one of the fishing piers.
A total of 139 campsites, the majority equipped with electricity connections, make overnighting fun and easy. This park's a popular one! Call ahead to make reservations if you're coming in the busy spring and summer seasons.
The ideal time to visit Fairfield Lake State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings warmth perfect for water activities, though it can be quite hot. Winters are typically mild but can be unpredictable, so check the forecast before planning your trip.
