Confirmed from San Angelo State Park, South Entrance's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park with camping, horseback riding, a lake, wildlife, and picnic facilities.
What runners say about San Angelo State Park, South Entrance
“This place is gorgeous I cannot wait to go back and do some hiking.”
Large camp divided into several sections with varied options for RV and tent camping. Restrooms were old but functional. Noted several concrete paths, stairways, and boat lauches that were no longer maintained but accessible. Sites were dirt and grass, some had picnic shelters, fire pits and grills.
Great place to see deer, armadillos, javelinas, and bison! Lots of trails. Great for hiking and mountain biking.
Nice local place to go hiking, also the bison and longhorns are pretty cool.
This state park is beautiful. The people manning the front office is friendly. We didn't get to see the animals while we were visiting but there was plenty of wildflowers on the trail and camping areas. The book nook is a nice addition to the park. I hope they keep it there and it gets updated as people pass by.
