Cleburne State Park is a 528-acre Texas park near Cleburne, built around the spring-fed Cedar Lake and a wooded landscape crossed by Camp Creek. Established in 1934 after local businessmen acquired the land and transferred it for park development, it was shaped from 1935 to 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, whose dam created the lake and whose structures and trails still define much of the park. The area had earlier importance as Comanche hunting ground and trail country. Today the park is known for fishing, no-wake boating, hiking, and mountain biking, while also preserving native habitat and New Deal-era park craftsmanship.
