Texas Parks & WildlifeRanchers donated or sold their land to create Blanco State Park in 1933. With 104.6 acres, it is one of the smallest state parks in Texas.
Civilian Conservation Corps Company 854 arrived here on June 16, 1933, and worked for 11 months building bridges, dams, structures, picnic areas, and roads. The CCC transformed the landscape and created a park where Texans could swim, fish, and camp.
You can still see their work today. Have a picnic on a stone bench or stone picnic table. Take a hike out to see the remnants of the pump house. Swim in one of the pools created by the CCC dams. Reserve the CCC-built picnic pavilion or picnic area for your next group gathering.
