Daingerfield State Park

About Daingerfield State Park

Dingfield State Park, a 550 by 89 hectare recreation area encompassing 80 hectares around a lake, was built in 1935 by a private owner and opened in 1938.

While Northeast Texas is known for its pine trees, the park is a delight, with its sweet rubber oaks and maples that produce dazzling reds and golds and contrast starkly with the famous evergreens. The fish in the lake include white-tailed deer, coyotes, foxes, elks, elks and other wildlife. The hills roll by, spring takes your breath away and birds of prey such as wild boar, prairie dogs and coyotes stream into the rolling hills of Dingfield.

The park is located off State Highway 49, which leads to the entrance at Park Road 17. From Dallas / Ft Worth or Mt. Pleasant, take Interstate 30, turn left at the intersection of Interstate 35 and turn right onto Highway, which will take you about a mile to Dingfield State Park. Take State Highway 259 from Longview to Daingerfield, then turn south on Interstate Highway 259 and then east on I-35. Nearby attractions include the Texas Museum of Natural History, Dallas Zoo and Fort Worth Zoo.
