Episode Description
This week on the Trailblazing Texas Podcast, we’re heading to Fort Parker State Park with Site Superintendent Alysha!
We talk about Alysha’s journey with Texas Parks and Wildlife, what brought her to Fort Parker, and what makes this park such a special place to both work and visit.
We dive into the park’s CCC history, trails, camping, wildlife, conservation, hidden gems, and, of course, Fort Parker Lake, from paddling and fishing to simply enjoying life on the water.
Alysha also shares some of her favorite memories, visitor stories, and what she hopes people take away from their time at the park.
Whether you’re planning your first visit or looking for another Texas State Park to add to your list, this episode gives you a great look at Fort Parker State Park through the eyes of the person helping lead and protect it.
