Texas is about to open a massive new state park.
Second only to Big Bend Ranch State Park in size, Silver Lake Ranch spans 54,000-acre plot of land across Edwards and Kinney counties and comes as a major philanthropic gift from the Moody Foundation.
Ross Moody said in a press release, “The Moody Foundation is proud to help preserve this remarkable stretch of Texas Hill Country and make it accessible for generations to come.
“Silver Lake Ranch represents the natural beauty, history, and spirit of our state, and we are honored to make this gift to Texas Parks and Wildlife to ensure it remains protected and enjoyed by all Texans for years ahead.”
According to CultureMap Dallas the land, which was previously used for sheep and cattle ranching, will be developed in phases over the next several years.
TPWD Executive Director David Yoskowitz said in the release, “This is an exciting addition to our state park system, and we are grateful to our partners at the Moody Foundation for their philanthropy and for bringing this slice of the hill country to the people of Texas.”
