History and nature converge on the banks of O.C. Fisher Reservoir and the Concho River, near San Angelo. Ex­plore on land, play in the water, and enjoy a look at Texas’ past. On land, you can camp, hike, bike, ride horses and geocache. Visit the wildlife observation area to see local resi­dents. You can fish, swim, boat and paddle on the lake and river.

Stop by the bison and longhorn pad­docks to see relics of Texas’ early days. San Angelo is home to the Offical Texas State Longhorn Herd.

The park has 50 miles of multiuse trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding (you must bring your own horse). Trails are open to all users, unless otherwise marked. Explore the two-mile Dinosaur Trail with your kids; the trail passes fos­si­lized trackways of pre-dinosaur crea­tures from the Permian Age. Or walk the lakeshore on the nearly six-mile Trailhead to Trailhead Route.
