| State Park Overview: |
| Atlanta State Park is 1475 acres on Lake Wright Patman Dam in Cass County, a few miles southwest of Texarkana. Texas acquired the land in 1954 by Department of the Army License which expires in 2004 with option to renew to 2054. |
| Nature of the Area: |
| Contrasting seasonal colors of terrain, the lake, sunsets, and pine forests are breathtaking. Abundant bird and wildlife species and woodland plants offer excellent opportunities to observers. Crappie, largemouth bass, white bass, and several species of sunfish are present in good numbers, with quality-size fish available for recreational anglers. Catfish - channel, blue, and flathead are also available in large numbers. |

Our second home
Very peaceful, pleasant. Gracious people to camp with. The sites are great and spaced nicely. The park personnel are always looking for ways to make your camping experience the best. Again, great people to camp with. If I need to leave my wife there for a few days by herself, I feel perfectly safe for her because the ranger sees to it that there are a number of patrols through the park all hours.

| History of the Area: |
| Caddo Indians, the most culturally advanced tribe in Texas, once made this area their home. The Caddos settled the area peacefully as farmers, unlike their nomadic and warlike brother, the Apaches and Comanches. Excavations conducted by the Smithsonian Institute produced many graves and artifacts, and archaeologists found evidence of a house pattern with post molds still intact. |
