Read full park description
Located just southeast of Clinton in DeWitt County, Weldon Springs State Park is a 550-acre park for all seasons. Weldon Springs' recreational agenda is among the most comprehensive in the state park system, offering recreational opportunities year-round. During the milder seasons, you are invited to fish, boat, picnic, camp, hike, and view wildlife. Or, you might want to pitch horseshoes at the park's tournament-quality horseshoe pits. When the snow flies, hardier outdoors persons not only continue many of the warmer weather pursuits, but add sledding and tobogganing on a one-eighth mile hill, ice fishing and cross-country skiing to the itinerary of their visit. Please visit Weldon Springs Foundation, Inc., for information on joining a group of citizens who share an interest in the well-bring and growth of Weldon Springs State Park. The foundation benefits the park through financial contributions, by volunteering time, talent, and skills, by initiating and sponsoring programs and projects, and by providing information to the public.
