roadside park beside U.S. Highway 287 northwest of Woodville is a wonderful place
just for sitting on a park bench, listening to the sounds of the forest, and dipping
your toes in a spring-fed pool built by Civilian Conservation Corps workers in
the 1930s. Families come here for reunions, kids enjoy running around the expansive
grounds, and Scout troops often camp beneath the tall trees.
