· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has acquired Silver Lake Ranch, a 54,000-acre property in Kinney and Edwards counties, which will become Silver Lake State Park, the second-largest state park in Texas. This park features a 30-acre spring-fed lake, steep canyons, and rolling hills, located about 150 miles west of San Antonio. The acquisition was funded by the $1 billion Centennial Parks Conservation Fund approved in 2023. The Moody Foundation donated nearly 88% of the ranch, while TPWD purchased the remaining portion for $11.85 million. The park is expected to offer diverse wildlife and recreational opportunities when it opens.
