The Argentine Ant, an invasive species, has been identified in some campsites in Lake Tawakoni State Park. The ants do not sting. Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept is working with experts to reduce the number of ants without harming the park's natural resources. Before leaving, thoroughly inspect your vehicle, RV, camping gear, and other equipment; If you see the ants, please notify park staff immediately and they can offer guidance for treating.
