In the 1960s
Blanco State Park was nearly taken off the rolls due to poor attendance.
It my be a State Park to you and me, but it’s also a city park to
Blanco, being
a mere two blocks from the town square.
Built as a CCC project in 1934, most of the rock used in the two dams
and pavilion were from rock walls built by pioneer families.
Besides swimming, fishing is popular here as well, with the Parks
and Wildlife Department releasing rainbow trout each winter. Take
a dip in the river, and explore the town
