Overview

Mustang Park is a spacious dayuse area on the south side of Benbrook Lake in north-central Texas, accessible from WInscott Plover Road. Swimming, picnicking, fishing, boat launching, and wildlife viewing are available.

Recreation

Mustang is a unique recreation experience at Benbrook, where day-users are not restricted to designated table sites or roadways - you may set up and day-use anywhere in the park you like, even right on the shoreline. The adjacent swimming beach is popular, as is fishing along the shoreline of Mustang Point.

Facilities

Mustang Park offers open day-use, along with a large group pavilion with utilities, as well as restrooms with showers, and a trailer dump station.

Natural Features

Mustang Park is on the west side of Mustang Creek on the south side of the Lake, with wooded creek bottoms and gently sloping shorelines.

Nearby Attractions

Fort Worth's renowned Cultural & Museum District, Stockyards National Historic District, Botanical Gardens, Zoo, Bass Performance Hall, and downtown Sundance Square, are all only a short drive. The campground closes at 10:00 p.m. so plan ahead..

The description, directions and fees are the Army Corps of Engineers’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
