Davis Mountain State Park, 2708.9 acres in size, is located in Jeff Davis County, four miles northwest of Fort Davis. It is approximately halfway between the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Carlsbad Caverns, and Big Bend National Park. The original portion of the park was deeded to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department by a local family. Original improvements were accomplished by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933; the park has been open to the public in since the late 1930s; formal campground facilities were added in 1967. The walk is on trails in the park and there are lots of deer, wildlife and birds to see.
