REMNANTS
THE CIVILIAN
CONSERVATION CORPS
I
Out of work, out of money, and out of
luck. Many Americans struggled during
the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Hoping to combat unemployment,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC), a national work program for
single men between the ages of 18 and
25. Jobs in the CCC improved the
American landscape and sustained the
enrollees’ families back home. Enrollees
planted forests, assisted with soil conservation projects,
and built state and national parks. CCC “boys” earned
wages and lived in military-like camps, which provided
CCC men cutting wooden planks
CCC men in front of the old swimming pool
shelter, uniforms, food, and educational
and vocational training. Would you have
enlisted?
CCC Company 3803 arrived in Lockhart in 1935 and built
“Camp Colp” in honor of David E. Colp, a onetime Lockhart
resident and the first chairman of the Texas State Parks
Board. This camp was across the road from the park entrance.
The young men used local lumber and stone to build dams
along Clear Fork Creek, the recreation hall, the park residence,
a swimming pool, water tower, water fountains, and primitive
camping sites. These structures still stand today, except for
the original swimming pool, which was replaced in 1974.
Another work program, the Work Projects Administration
(WPA), joined CCC Company 3803 to build Lockhart
State Park’s 9-hole golf course. Upon completion in 1938,
the course featured the highest tee box in Texas, which you
can still see today.

magine a landscape
with tall grasses as
far as the eye can
see. Picture those
grasses swaying in the
Red-tailed hawk
breeze and a herd of
buffalo off in the distance. This is what Lockhart State
Park looked like thousands of years ago.
Lockhart State Park is located in the Blackland Prairie
ecoregion of Texas that, prior to Anglo settlement,
was dominated by bunch grasses like indiangrass, little
bluestem, and eastern gamagrass. Back then, the
prairie was home to buffalo, grey wolves, coyotes,
birds, and small mammals.
Today, the landscape looks very different due to
farming, ranching, and development. Buffalo and
wolves were hunted out of the area, and bunch grasses
are no longer common, although they are being reintroduced. Look carefully during your visit and you
may find remnants of the park’s former landscape.

INTRODUCTION
L
ockhart State Park is located approximately 30 miles south
of Austin within the city of Lockhart in Caldwell County. The
park consists of 263 acres and is located on the Clear Fork of
Plum Creek. The park is situated in the Blackland Prairie ecoregion
of the state, but it features a variety of landscapes that attract a great
diversity of avian life.
The park has built two trails that follow Clear Fork Creek (Creekview
and Clear Fork Trail) and mow additional access to the creek for anglers.
Explore the creek and ponds to see Green Heron, Great Blue Heron,
and the occasional Black-bellied Whistling Duck.
There are many grassland areas scattered throughout the park that
display native grass species and provide unique habitat. Explore these
areas to find typical Blackland Prairie bird species like the Scissor-tailed
Flycatcher and Eastern Meadowlark. The open fields and fairways of
the park are popular haunts for Painted Buntings, Eastern Bluebirds,
Killdeer, and Wild Turkey.
The mixed-oak forests in the park are rich in diversity, with the
most common tree species being live oak, shumard oak, and eastern
red cedar. Walk one of the many wooded trails (including Chisholm
Trail and Rattlesnake Run) and listen close for Red-shouldered Hawks,
Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and Pileated Woodpeckers.
TPWD staff and volunteers compiled this checklist from records
collected on eBird, which includes contributions from citizen scientists.
This checklist is preliminary and will be periodically updated. Additional
records are needed and contributions of sightings, even of the most
common birds, can be very helpful. The organization and nomenclature
of the birds listed here follow the American Ornithologist’s Union Checklist of North American Birds, 7th edition, as currently supplemented.
Please help us protect the natural avian communities in our parks
by refraining from using playback tapes of bird songs. Frequent use of
these tapes disrupts essential territorial behavior and may lead to nest
failure. Thank you for your cooperation.

Two New Deal work programs — the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
and the Work Projects Administration (WPA) — developed Lockhart State
Park’s golf course. CCC Company 3803 cleared trees and built landscape
features like foot paths and bridges. WPA workers developed the green
and fairways. Their hard work, and strong local community support,
made the course a reality.

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.
