The Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation acquired a 650-acre property at Lake Palestine in Henderson County on October 1, 2026. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department plans to turn the site into a state park. The land’s connection with the Pollard family dates to 1940, linking the park plans with a longer family history.
Pine forests, wetlands and a pecan orchard are all part of the property. The land protects white-tailed deer and bobcats, giving wildlife a place alongside the orchard and the forest. Sam Pollard is associated with Texas Pecan Nursery. The planned state park would bring camping and kayaking to the same land that protects these animals.
The future park’s plans include camping and kayaking, with access opening in stages. Guided visits would come first, followed by day use and then overnight access. This would give visitors different ways to spend time at the lake, from a guided visit to a stay that includes a night at the park.
