Caprock Canyons State Park consists of 15,313 acres of jagged sandstone peaks and canyons near the base of the Texas Panhandle.

The harsh, yet beautiful terrain at Caprock Canyons supports a wide variety of activities for a wide range of abilities.

The 64-mile, 1,200-acre Caprock Canyons Trailways System is the product of a rail-to-trail conversion. Open to hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians, the trail stretches into the Red River Valley and traverses three counties, 54 bridges and the last active railroad tunnel in Texas.

The 13 mixed-use trails in the park total about 28 miles. They range in difficulty from some level paths to steep tracks fit only for rugged adventurers. One-way trekkers can hire shuttle services on the trailway. Trekkers must bring their own water supply.

In addition to its geological appeal, the park supports a wealth of wildlife, including bison, mule deer, African aoudad sheep and pronghorn antelope. The 175 bird species recorded here include the golden and bald eagles. Interpretive exhibits and programs explore the park's human history as well as its wildlife. Children and their families can learn about the natural and cultural history of the Caprock Canyonlands at the Discovery Center.

Anglers try their luck for bass and catfish in Lake Theo, which, during wet years, covers 120 acres and is open to no-wake boating.

Camping opportunities are diverse. There are several backpack camping areas, within the park proper and on the trailway. The 86 developed campsites include those in an equestrian camp. The park has a Texas State Park Store.

Often, the only place water is available in the park is the Honey Flat and Equestrian campsites and the Day Use area. Water and restrooms with showers are available at the Honey Flat and the North Shore campsites. Electricity is only available at the Honey Flat campsites.

No wake boats may be used on Lake Theo and the entire lake is open for swimming.
