About

Wilson H. Fox Park sits on the shores of Granger Lake in the gently rolling hills of the Texas Blackland Prairie. The campground attracts a variety of campers looking for lakeside recreation and becomes a colorful landscape covered in wildflowers during springtime. The park offers Class A campsites able to accommodate RVs and camper trailers. Water recreation is the main draw, with a swimming beach, fishing dock, and two boat ramps providing access for sailing, water skiing, and boating. Anglers fish for catfish, white bass, and crappie. Granger Lake was formed in 1980 upon completion of a 16,000-foot dam and is fed by the San Gabriel River and Willis Creek. The park is located approximately 15 miles from Taylor and 40 miles from Austin. Beyond the park boundaries, archery hunting for feral hogs is allowed year-round. Nearby attractions include Pecan Grove Wildlife Area just east of the park below the dam, and San Gabriel and Sore Finger Wildlife Areas.
