Close to 54,000 acres of former Hill Country ranchland with a 30-acre spring-fed lake will soon become the second-largest park in Texas.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced Wednesday that it has acquired the property, which will become Silver Lake State Park. The former Silver Lake Ranch, where sheep and cattle grazed, features steep canyons and rolling hills located around 150 miles west of San Antonio, between Rocksprings and Uvalde in Kinney and Edwards counties.
