Many Texas State Parks are experiencing heavy rains and subsequent flooding. Parkgoers are advised to check the state park map for alerts and to be weather wise for areas they plan to visit.
Park alerts share the most up to date information for each property including area and full park closures. Patrons are advised to avoid flooded roadways. Always remember to "Turn Around, Don't Drown." TPWD Emergency Management recommends checking TxDOT's "Drive Texas" before traveling in weather for road closures.
