Lake Fayette Park Prairie Park

Please be advised that during the Spring months, we experience the flying bug called Midges. These can be a pest, but do not pose a threat. The Lake is currently experiencing an influx of the bugs, so please be prepared.

Check-in is 3 pm. If you arrive before 12 pm the day of your check-in, a day use fee will be applied if you access the park.

  • Park Prairie Park is situated on Lake Fayette, a 2,000-acre lake that is a fishing paradise and voted one of the best bass fishing lakes in Texas. Vista Recreation has recently renovated the bathhouses, boat docks, and fishing piers, and now offers camping and cabins! Enjoy more time on the water when you book an overnight stay at Lake Fayette. The day use area is a prime spot for boating, fishing, swimming and picnicking. A network of multi-use trail systems connect Park Prairie Park and Oak Thicket Park, allowing visitors the chance to get out and explore nature through the forest, prairies, and marshlands. Other local tourist attractions are the towns of Fayetteville, Round Top, and La Grange for more exploring. The park is known for the lovely live oak trees, which provide shade during the Texas summers, and stay green year-round.
