Welcome to Rita Blanca Park
Located on FM 281, was once the northernmost state park in Texas, but is now owned and maintained by the City of Dalhart. Located on Farm to Market Road 281, Lake Rita Blanca is a prime recreational spot for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. The park has a 150-acre lake surrounded by 1,668 acres of fun. The lake is an excellent location for bird viewing throughout the year, but during the winter months it is beyond compare. The hiking/biking/horse trails around the area make it perfect for wildlife viewing. The lake area is available for tent camping; the fee is $3. The City has made many improvements including new restrooms, new playground equipment and better hiking/biking/riding trails and roads. The City plans to continue improving the lake area by adding lookouts for bird watching and adding more signs to aid park visitors. The newest addition to the area is a 9 hole disk golf course, rules are similar to golf only played with Frisbee, starting basket is near the coliseum building.
