Bob Sandlin State Park is beginning to prepare for “Christmas in the Park” event on Friday and Saturday (Dec 7-8). Christmas in the Park is a free event we offer the community where we allow free camping and visiting. We also offer cookies and hot chocolate while visiting with Santa, games, and ornament craft project for children. On Friday and Saturday nights of the event, people drive through the park to see decorated campsites, but this leaves many areas in the park dark. Would you help us get the word out to our community about Christmas Done Bright, an opportunity to brighten the ‘dark spots’ in the park? We have several areas in the park that need lights and decoration for our event. This may be another opportunity for groups and organizations to show off a parade float. We ask that all who are interested in participating contact the park by December 1.

Daingerfield, TX— Daingerfield State Park is the perfect place to kick off the fall beginning in September. During the month, the park will host twenty-two programs focused on family entertainment and learning about our natural world. The park will conduct Ranger-led hikes around the lake which winds through the “Cathedral of the Trees.” As summer comes to an end, so will Paddleboarding excursions with a Ranger, so don’t miss your chance this month to get out on the water (remember all of our programs are FREE with paid admission). Have fun making nature art on selected Saturdays. To bring each action-packed Saturday to a fitting conclusion, we will host a Dance with classics from our vintage jukebox or karaoke from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The last weekend of the month will be a lot of fun with the theme “Searchin’ for Bigfoot”! On that Friday night, the park will present, “The Legend of Boggy Creek” which is a classic from 1972.
