Summer Fun at Daingerfield State Park

Daingerfield, TX— Daingerfield State Park will host its 2nd Annual Freedom Fest in honor of the Nation’s birthday this Saturday.

The festivities will include a 5K Race, Dutch oven cooking contest, booths, scavenger hunts and finish the evening with live music featuring “Hurry Up & Wait” playing classic country and rock classics. The daylong event will be from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the pavilion. This is a free event with paid park entrance permit.

The fun continues all summer long, too.

“You can rent a paddle boat, kayak, canoe, paddle board or one of our newly motorized fishing boats,” said Daingerfield State Park Superintendent Steve Killian. “Bring a picnic and enjoy the awe-inspiring views from our day-use area. Fish off our pier where many nice catches have been recorded. Crappie, bluegill, bass, catfish and chain pickerel are commonly caught. Swim in the clear, cool, spring feed water of Little Pine Lake. Hike our trails or just relax under a giant shade tree recharging your soul.”

Park entrance fees are $4 for adults with kids 12 and under always free. Senior Texans 65 or older will only pay $2 to enter the park daily with a Bluebonnet Pass. Unlimited park entrances for you and everyone in your vehicle can be accomplished with the purchase of a Texas State Park Annual Pass for $70 which is good for over 12 months.
