July 12, 2024 - The lake at Bonham State Park has been infested with hydrilla, which can impact swimming, fishing and boating due to heavy vegetation on the lake surface. We are working on controlling and/or removing the hydrilla.
Please contact the park office with questions. And as always, please clean, drain, and dry your boat!
If your plans change, please modify or cancel your reservation as soon as possible to allow someone else to enjoy the park.
