Atlanta State Park

Atlanta State Park sits on the shores of Wright Patman Lake in the piney woods of far northeast Texas. With 1,475 acres of rolling hills and towering pines, it offers excellent fishing, swimming, and hiking. The park's location on the lake provides scenic waterfront campsites that are rare in East Texas.
