About San Angelo State Park

San Angelo State Park covers 7,677 acres around O.C. Fisher Reservoir on the edge of the city. It has more than 50 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, plus camping and swimming, and it's home to bison and part of the official State of Texas Longhorn herd.

Things to do

Hike or ride the trail system, camp overnight, picnic by the lake and look for the park's bison and longhorns.

Plan your visit

  • Get on the trails early in summer; West Texas afternoons are hot.
  • Check the Texas Parks and Wildlife page for fees, reservations and current conditions.
