Caprock Canyons State Park Expands with 2,200 New Acres
One of Texas’ most unique outdoor destinations just got even bigger.
Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway has officially expanded by more than 2,200 acres, bringing the park’s total size to an impressive 17,500 acres. Known for its dramatic canyon views and roaming bison herd, this expansion adds even more space for visitors to explore.
The growth comes from two recent land acquisitions, including the Rocking W Ranch and Hawkins Ranch. These additions not only protect the park’s scenic views and natural resources but also create new opportunities for wildlife and outdoor recreation. The expansion even includes a large “barndominium” that will be used for future retreats and group experiences.
For visitors, this means more to see and do. The park already offers over 90 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, along with Lake Theo for swimming, fishing, and boating. With the added land, wildlife sightings are expected to increase, including quail, mule deer, bobcats, and coyotes.
One of the park’s most popular attractions—the historic Clarity Tunnel—is home to hundreds of thousands of bats during warmer months, while the park itself is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, offering some of the best stargazing in Texas.
The bottom line: this expansion makes Caprock Canyons an even more compelling destination for Texans looking to experience wide-open landscapes, wildlife, and some of the most scenic views in the state.
Texas Leads the Nation in Economic Growth—Again
Texas continues to prove why it’s one of the most dynamic places to live and work in the country.
In a new report from Site Selection magazine, Texas has once again been named the No. 1 state for economic development, marking an incredible 14-year winning streak. The ranking is based on the number of job-creating business projects across the country—and Texas is far ahead of the competition.
In 2025 alone, the state secured more than 1,400 business relocations and expansion projects, representing over $75 billion in investments and creating more than 42,000 new jobs. That’s nearly double the number of projects in second-place Illinois.
Here’s what stands out for North Texas:
Dallas–Fort Worth ranked No. 3 in the nation for total economic development projects, trailing only Chicago and Houston.
This kind of growth isn’t just a headline—it has real impact. A strong business environment means more job opportunities, rising incomes, and continued demand for housing across the region.
Texas is also home to one of the highest concentrations of Fortune 500 headquarters in the country, further reinforcing its position as a hub for major companies and long-term investment.
What This Means for Fort Worth
For those living in or moving to Fort Worth, this continued economic momentum is a big deal.
Growth like this supports:
- Strong job markets
- Population growth
- Increased demand for housing
- Long-term stability in home values
It’s one of the key reasons why the Fort Worth area continues to attract new residents, businesses, and investors year after year.
The Bottom Line
Texas isn’t just growing—it’s leading.
With sustained economic development, job creation, and business investment, the state—and especially the Dallas–Fort Worth area—continues to offer opportunity, stability, and long-term potential for residents and homeowners alike.
