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
