Governor Abbott Celebrates 100 Years Of State Parks In Texas

Statement

"Nearly 10 million people visit Texas' 89 state parks each year, spurring the economy of many small Texas communities and supporting thousands of jobs across our state," said Governor Abbott. "Our state parks are drivers of our booming tourism industry, inviting both Texans and out-of-state visitors to witness the majesty of Texas up close. My first experience with Texas state parks was as a Boy Scout, taking trips to Daingerfield State Park and Caddo Lake. Since then, state parks became central to my deep appreciation for Texas' beautiful landscapes. We must work together to ensure that what makes our state so unique and beautiful is here for generations to come."
