About Murrell Park

Escape to the untouched shores of Grapevine Lake at Murrell Park, where primitive tent camping meets endless waterfront adventures. This hidden gem invites outdoor enthusiasts to pitch their tents along the scenic lakeshore and immerse themselves in a world of hiking trails, mountain biking paths, and prime fishing spots. Whether you're casting a line at dawn or exploring wooded trails by day, Murrell Park delivers an authentic back-to-nature experience just moments from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Geological RegionNestled within the greater Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Murrell Park showcases the region's characteristic rolling hill country surrounding the expansive 7,280-acre Grapevine Lake. This geological tapestry of gentle slopes and wooded ridges creates 60 miles of varied shoreline, from secluded coves to open water vistas. The diverse terrain supports a thriving ecosystem where white-tailed deer roam alongside wild turkeys, while smaller residents like squirrels, armadillos, and rabbits share the landscape with countless bird species that fill the air with their calls.
