Lake Tawakoni was built to supply water to the city of Dallas. Occupying almost 400 adjacent acres and with 5 miles of shoreline, Lake Tawakoni State Park offers visitors access to fishing, boating, camping and swimming. And if you are there during the spring, you might get to see giant spider webs constructed by tiny spiders. For more information, visit our web site: www.tpwd.state.tx.us

i love going to that place!
thats me in the orange shirt roasting marshmallows!
You forgot West Virginia..
Sad that many lost homes, but in the end folks, this is Mother Nature doing her thing. The old pines will be fine. And the fire will make the forest come back stronger than ever.

Getting rain won’t do a whole bunch at this point. It would have to rain about ten to twelve inches for us to be safe from another fire. But thanks for your though and prayers. And by the way, firemen do NOT get enough.respect. you realize that when you can see nothing but there shadows from inside a fire. The fire department is 100 percent responsible for my town still standing.
One of my favorite places on earth. I hope all the trees are not gone.
Very sad, that’s one of my favorite parks.
team up rednecks!
Wow its like the fire is just walk along, crazy
So far, it seems like the camp is ok. But you never know with wildfires.
Frost bombs or Ice bombs are pressurized bio-degrable n2pkp containers dropped from aircraft, as I’ve suggested in OPERATION FROST on youtube. It could make a difference right now. Just give it some thought.
The drought has turned the Lost Pines into a tinderbox, unfortunately. I’m glad they saved the CCC structures.
I have heard that the Boy Scout Camp has not been harmed. However I heard that late Monday and things change rapidly with wildfires.
Damn.
So sad, I hope you get rain soon
I was about to ask about Lost Pines Boy Scout Camp! My husband was heavy into scouting in Bastrop as a kid.
Does anyone know if the Lost Pines Boy Scout Camp suffered any damage?
So sad! Bastrop is one of our favorite parks. Stay safe, everyone out there!
