Daingerfield State Park, northeast of Dallas is holding a "Grand Reopening" after being shut down since July for renovations. The park was originally a Civilian Conservation Corps project right out of the 1930s. Park officials say they're happy with the renovation project, which took the three original CCC buildings and put them back on their feet.John Thomas, Daingerfield's park superintendent told the local paper, the Longview News Journal, "The neat thing about the renovations is that this is an opportunity for us to take the CCC structures, renovate them, and have an improved facility. This is putting them back into the original condition it was built for and designed back in the 1930s. The roofs on the buildings are made from wooden cedar shake, like the ones in 1938."
Other improvements include bringing the park's fishing lodge up to ADA compliance to make it accessible for those with disabilities. But of particular interest to RVers are the a
ddition of 30 new full hookup sites, and the addition of sewer hookups to 20 other existing sites. What do folks do at Daingerfield? Try picnicking, camping, slow-speed boating (5 MPH limit), fishing, swimming, hiking, and nature study. A seasonal concession (March - October) rents pedal boats and canoes.photo: Texas Parks and Wildlife. Map: wikipedia.org
