San Angelo, TX, September 22, 2026 — Post Oak Ridge State Park, the newest addition to Texas’ state park system, is scheduled to open its gates for day-use visitors on Thursday, September 24th. The park is situated near Lampasas, Texas, offering a new destination for outdoor recreation in the state’s rolling hill country.
Access to Post Oak Ridge State Park will require an online reservation. Park officials are implementing this system to manage visitor numbers for the newly opened, primitive park.
Visitors to Post Oak Ridge can expect to explore trails that wind through rolling hills and discover scenic overlooks. The park’s landscape is characterized by its natural hill country terrain, providing opportunities for hiking and observing the surrounding environment.
As the park is still under development, visitors are advised to exercise caution. Awareness of ongoing construction areas is necessary. Additionally, there is a lack of on-site drinking water, meaning guests should plan to bring their own water supplies.
