Crazy Water In More Ways Than One: Lake Mineral Wells State Park & Mineral Wells TX

Join us as we explore Lake Mineral Wells State Park and neighboring Mineral Wells, Texas. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, this area was booming with big name tourists who came to town to drink and soak in the natural mineral waters that were believed to be healing. You can find traces of that history today at the (hopefully soon to be restored) 1929 Baker Hotel ... once the tallest buildings built outside of a major metropolitan area, and the Famous Mineral Water Company (where you can still buy mineral water from their well).

Lake Mineral Wells State Park has an interesting history all its own. Once part of the 1920s Camp Wolter military base, the park contains buildings that were constructed by one of the first Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps in Texas who arrived here in 1933.

In this video, we take you on a tour of Lake Mineral Wells State Park and share some of the unique features, the campgrounds, amenities and fun things to do in the area. This is the last video from our adventures with Grammy Kay last summer! We had such a great time traveling with her.

Lake Mineral Wells State Park is operated by Texas Parks and Wildlife.
