I just spent a weekend there with my son. We had such a good time. The staff was very professional and courteous. We caught Bass and croppie (crappie East Coast :)..) and had a WONDERFUL view of the stars. I want to Thank the park staff for a great experience. Clean, quiet and relaxing. By the way Kissing the Long Horn was AWESOME!!!.....Thanks
I have a friend who stops there on his travels several times each year. Says the Fishing is Excellent. Lot of large bass in the smaller lake. I've heard an observatory for viewing the Sky is there. Some small telescopes you can use? I don't know for certain. But, can say this. That entire area is one of the remotest places left in the State of Texas. I live 120-miles from DFW. Still have light pollution to the south when watching Meteor Showers. Going to CB next time a Meteor Shower comes up.
Also, Having folk's read and think that Copper Breaks is in the Panhandle. On an "Official" TPWD post/video about the park. Is Misleading to those who don't know the region.
Folks. Copper Breaks State Park is NOT located in the Texas Panhandle. From Wichita Falls taking 287 to Vernon and then 70-west. Is 86-miles road distance and 1:30 driving time. Copper Breaks is only 70-miles due West of Wichita Falls. W.F. nor Quanah is in the Panhandle. From Abilene it is 125-miles and 2:20 driving time. Amarillo and all points east, west and north of that city are the lands that make up the Texas Panhandle. Amarillo is 160-miles northwest of Copper Breaks.
