Welcome to Cooper Lake State Park
With two park units, you’ll find plenty of room to roam. Bring your fishing pole, your hiking shoes, your horse, your swimsuit–or heck, just bring yourself! We’re only 90 minutes northeast of Dallas. Doctors Creek (on the north side of the lake) and South Sulphur (on the south side) offer tons of amenities. You can fish, picnic, swim, boat, water-ski, hike, bike, bird watch, study nature, stargaze, ride horses, geocache and camp. Rent one of our pavilions for your next group event. Camp at one of our sites with water and electricity, or at a walk-in campsite. We also have equestrian campsites at the South Sulphur unit. Both units have screened shelters and air-conditioned shelters. Or rent one of South Sulphur’s cabins, complete with kitchen and bathroom. Bring your horse to the South Sulphur Unit (we require proof of negative Coggins). The 10.5-mile Buggy Whip Equestrian Trail crosses nearly 600 acres of shaded forest and thick vegetation, and takes you down hillsides and through creek gulches. Some parts of the trail are challenging. Come for the day, or camp in one of our equestrian campsites. Access the trail from your campsite. The park store at Doctors Creek sells gift items. South Sulphur’s store sells souvenirs, books, ice and drinks.
