As a State Park, the primary focus of this site is to provide recreational opportunities while
maintaining public safety and protecting fragile park resources. Help us to protect this special place
and provide for everybody’s enjoyment by following some simple guidelines:
• Camping is permitted in designated, numbered sites only. Camping at designated sites helps
protect fragile vegetation and minimizes soil compaction.
Trailhead
Parking
• Numbered sites are for overnight camping only. NO PICNICKING.
• CHECK OUT time is 12 p.m. Renewal requests should be made by 9 a.m. (subject to site
availability).
• All vehicles must remain on the pavement. This protects the park’s fragile vegetation and

minimizes soil compaction and erosion.
LIMIT
• A valid permit must be displayed on the windshield of all vehicles in the park.

• An extra vehicle fee is required at each campsite with more than two vehicles (including trailers).
MPH
• Public consumption or display of any alcoholic beverage is prohibited. All outdoor areas within the
park are “public.”

LIMIT
• A maximum of eight people are permitted per campsite. Overcrowding damages vegetation,
increases soil compaction and often leads to noise problems.

• Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and guests who do not have a camping permit
must leave the park by 10 p.m. Respect your fellow campers. Excessive noise can ruin your
neighbor’s outdoor experience.
• Keep camp and picnic areas clean. Please recycle appropriate litter and deposit trash in trash
dumpsters. Leaving no trace of your visit helps keep the park beautiful and reduces the chance of

NATURAL HISTORY
CCC Company 1823, composed of African American veterans
of World War I, built a large earthen dam and constructed a
road along the lake shore and built a concession building of
stone and timber.
CULTURAL HISTORY
People have lived here for thousands of years. In the
1500s, when Europeans began exploring this area, they
found Bidai Indians. The Bidai hunted and farmed the
land. Half of them died from disease during the 1770s.
The survivors joined other tribes and left the area during
the 1850s.
Anglo Americans founded the town of Huntsville just
after the Texas Revolution in 1837 with a trading post
and post office. Republic of Texas president and Texas
state governor Sam Houston lived in Huntsville for many
years and is buried here. Park features including Lake
Raven and the Raven Hill Campground recall Houston’s
Cherokee name: the Raven. After the Civil War, the forest
surrounding the community felt the ax of the East Texas
logging boom. Loggers cut thousands of acres in this area,
including what is now Huntsville State Park. But logging
of park land stopped before the First World War.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the
Huntsville community united to build a new park.
President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal sent a 200-man
Civilian Conservation Corps company to do the job.
The company’s African American enrollees dammed up
creeks to construct Lake Raven. They replanted the
forest and constructed the park lodge and other features.
Heavy rain caused the dam to collapse in 1940, delaying
the park’s completion for ten years. But it opened to the
public on May 18, 1956.
OUTDOOR RECREATION
Huntsville’s plant and animal communities include mixed
pine and hardwood forests, lake, and wetland. This rich and
diverse habitat is a beacon that brings life in many forms to
the park. More than 250 bird species have been seen at
Huntsville. The park’s variety of habitats support both
migrant and year-round resident birds. Birders use the
Coloneh Trail blind to observe both forest and wetland
species. Songbirds, herons, hawks, ducks, and even bald
eagles have all been observed at the park.
The lake and
wetlands also
support animals
including otter,
beaver, and
American alligators. Beavers
built small
ponds in the
eastern end of
Lake Raven at
Little Chinquapin Creek. Their work feeds them while adding
new habitat that increases the diversity of life. The ponds slow
the flow of stream water and allow the entry of new types
of aquatic plants. When beavers cut down trees they favor
certain species, changing the forest. A few American alligators
live in the park wetlands. Top predators, alligators hunt in
marsh areas along the water’s edge. They are most active at
night during the summer and at day during the winter.
L
ake Raven is known for the quality size bass
you can catch here. White and yellow bass,
sunfish, flathead, and channel catfish also
patrol the lake in search of food. Paddlers enjoy
journeys against a cathedral forest backdrop. Within
a designated area, you can even go swimming. Over
20 miles of rustic trails through the forest provide
adventure and scenic beauty. They offer some

WELCOME
from Rodney Franklin, State Parks Director
This year is very special for Texas State Parks: We are
celebrating our 100-year anniversary in 2023. More and
more Texans are discovering the beauty of State Parks and
exploring the outdoors in new and adventurous ways. Our
teams across the state are incredibly excited to welcome
outdoor enthusiasts, especially those who have yet to
discover what our parks have to offer. The variety of Texas’ lands is unmatched; from
the mountains of west Texas to the Gulf shores, the Texas State Park system celebrates
and preserves the natural and cultural treasures that make Texas such a special place.
The 640,000-plus acres that make up the state park system are nearly as diverse as
the people of Texas. Since 1923, our mission has been to help connect our visitors with
the outdoors. As we honor those who have come before us, I invite a new generation to
be a part of the story of the lands that connect us all.
There is more to enjoy in our parks than you know, so please join us in our celebrations
and activities. Every day we look for new and better ways to ensure your state parks are
welcoming to every Texan, regardless of their background or experience being outside.
I hope you’ll visit soon and often, while bringing
your friends and family along. YOU are a natural and
we’re looking forward to celebrating the 100-year
anniversary of state parks with you!
WHAT’S NEW IN STATE PARKS
Galveston Island State Park reopened the
beachside of the park with a new headquarters,
campsites, restrooms, and more.
Bastrop State Park unveiled an extensive new
group of trails, the “Tree Army Trails,” many of
which are ADA-accessible.
Improvements and major repairs are planned for
Indian Lodge, Tyler, Inks Lake, Cedar Hill, South
Llano River, Eisenhower and several other state parks
All-terrain “GRIT” wheelchairs are now available at 10 parks with more adaptive
equipment on the way to help people of all abilities experience Texas State
Parks. Learn more about our accessibility efforts, page 14.
