Lake Livingston State Park
Forest Trail Region
The park is located near the ghost town of Swartwout, a steamboat landing on the Trinity River in the 1830s and 1850s and the meeting place of Polk County's first commissioners court before voters selected Livingston as the county seat. The park offers camping, picnicking, a swimming pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day), mountain biking, horseback riding, nature study, birding, fishing (crappie, perch, catfish and bass) and boating.
