Lake Arrowhead State Park & Wichita Falls TX: An RV Adventure with RV Texas Y'all
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 20. 07. 2019
- Join us as we explore Lake Arrowhead State Park and Wichita Falls in North Texas! Formerly a city park, Lake Arrowhead State Park is focused on recreation: boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and frisbee golf! Yes, you read that right. Lake Arrowhead State Park is the only park in the Texas state park system with an 18 hole disc golf course!
Since the park is just 20 minutes or so outside of Wichita Falls, we took the opportunity to explore the town. We found some pretty surprising things to do. In fact our entire stay was full of unique finds!

Hey yâall! We hope you enjoy this visit to Lake Arrowhead State Park and Wichita Falls. Thanks to our friend Melany for showing us around!
I really enjoyed the video cause Burkburnett was part of my boyhood home up to the mid 60's! Back then horned lizards were common to see... just curious if ya'll noticed any during your stay?
Hey Randall! We saw several lizards but donât remember seeing any horned lizards.
Watching bc I live in Wichita đ
@@4fcksakeJay Awesome Jaden! We had a great time there.
Ronnies Burger is the best place for burgers
Thanks Mark! We'll try to remember to check out Ronnie's next time.
Pat's is good too! Haven't been to Willie's Place or Genes but on our list.
Itâs really good
Crazy to see a video about Wichita falls. Even crazier to see how many other people live here in the comments.
Hey Jason! We are so glad to hear from so many local folks! We love it when that happens.
Wow Thank You so much for showing my home town! Alot of people try to show stuff and get facts wrong. You did a beautiful job! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the kind words & watching!
Hello.I live here in Wichita Falls,Texas.Its a great places to see,and to visit.đâșđđđđđđđ„đ·đčđđ

Same
Hello.RV Texas Yall.That is great to hear from you.â€I thank you very much for featuring My home town Wichita Falls ,Texas.I hope that yall had a great wonderful visit.Have a great nice day.lot of love.Edward M.Walker.
Thank you so much Edward! We really appreciate your kind words. So glad that you enjoyed our video!
I worked for that roofing company who drove past you guys on 9:26, I cant belive you guys got them on video đ
They're all friendly & helpful workers.
LOL! You just never know who youâll see! đ
Woah this is my home town lol
We enjoyed our visit!
My mother worked at that Zales. I have things in my house that came from that store that she brought home! It was a model store for the entire company... How funny you mentioned the Zales store. Also, my Dad helped start that North Texas History Museum. Happy Trails!
That is awesome! Thanks for letting us know.
Casa Manana is the absolute bomb with their red tacos, queso and chips. Iâm so glad that you two got to experience this restaurant.
We are too! đ
We actually stayed in Wichita Falls on our way back home from out west in May truly loved it.
We enjoyed our stay there too!
Who knew of all the adventure that was in Wichita Fall, TX as I sure didn't. So thank you so much. That bridge was something else. It's awesome that they are using solar out there as they do get a lot of sun and cuts down on the cost of electricity. Thanks and do stay safe. Love y'all
Thanks Leann! We had no idea how many neat things were waiting for us in Wichita Falls!
We live in Wichita Falls! Glad you guys came for a visit. Gene's Tasty Burger is Awesome! Great video as always!
Thanks so much John! We enjoyed our time there.
Genes Tasty Burger has been there 60 years! I love the swinging bridge. The trails in Lucy Park (across the river from the bridge) are fun, you can easily walk to the falls.
So much fun! Thanks again for being our tour guide!
Melany, The Lucy Park area is one of our favorite places to walk our dog. The mountain bike portion of the âHotter Than Hell 100â bike marathon goes through the area too (near the RV Park that Tom and Stacy captured on camera). The Lucy Park Trails are now part of the Wichita Falls âCircle Trailâ system that will be a 24 mile loop around most of Wichita Falls when completed. A great place to bike or walk! They just finsihed another portion of the trail, the Wichita Falls Bluff Trail, that is VERY scenic. Right now, the Bluff Trail stops at LOOP 11 on the Wichita River, just short of Lucy Park.
I use to live down the street from Gene's đ
32nd st to be exact ,đ
I am so glad yâall made it to visit us here in Wichita Falls. Lake Arrowhead is our short stay getaway.
We had a great time!
My hometown where I was born and raised â€ïž
We enjoyed our visit there!
I lived at lake arrow head west side as a teenager on caddo trail 10 years living out there i do miss it.. Now in Dallas texas and i hate it lol to much traffic and so busy
Hey Ronald! So glad we could bring you a little piece of home!
I studied In windhorts & Wichita falls tx. I'm living in California now but I had some great times in the north of texas . You guys went to the best lake in the county.
Thanks Dilan! Glad we could bring back some good memories for you.
I like these guys.
Thanks Frank!
So cool to see a CZcams video of my town!! Hope y'all enjoyed Wichita falls!
We had a lot of fun! Thanks!
Hello.RV Texas Yall.Your sure welcome.And please do come back to visit Wichita Fall's Texas again,and again,and again.âșđđâ€đđđđčđ·đ„lot of love.đ
Thanks Edward! â€ïž
My wife and I recently moved to Wichita Falls to care for her mother (wife is a native Wichitan, gone 40 years). We haven't been to the park yet but plan on doing so. Thank you for giving us a tour, much appreciated!
Thanks Allan! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy your time there.
I recommend you guys to visit Lucy Parkđ
This is where I'm from I love this lake its known for its catfish and crappie fishing
Lots of folks out night fishing while we were there.
@@rvamericayall yeah it's always packed at night.
I live in San Antonio tx and my ex and my son live in Wichita Falls. About a 5 1/2 hr drive but itâs all worth it. Great city.
We had a great time there!
This is great! I use to live there and I worked at the Zales at Syke Center Mall and use to visit the downtown store #1 as we called it. I also met Donald Zale at a store in Oklahoma. My Mom and brother still live there as well to this day. I didn't know a lot of what you found existed Thank You!
That is awesome! We had no idea that Zaleâs was from Wichita Falls until our visit. You just never know what youâll find when you explore!
Another awesome video, yâall! Thanks for always sharing the details that make an area interesting and unique. Our places-to-visit list just keeps getting longer, thanks to you! đ
Youâre welcome Christy! Our places to visit list keeps getting longer too! đ
RV Texas Y'all Hopefully, our lists never stop growing!
Wow, yâall did such a great job on reviewing the park AND the City! I learned things I never knew and I live here in Wichita Falls!! Thanks so much for the work you do and I look forward to seeing more of your adventures! By the way, Stacie, I like your hat too. I may have to snag one đ. Safe travels!
Hey Linda!! Thanks so much! That's a HUGE compliment! :) . We had a great time and were so happy to meet y'all while we were there. Looking forward to seeing you and Bob again soon! (and yes, I love the hat... it's GREAT in the heat!)
I put the a/c in th little skyscraper, when it was remolded a few years ago.
Thatâs awesome Sam! What a cool little building.
Absolutely loved this video!! As I was born in Wichita Falls, and grew up in towns all around it, itâs great to see other people enjoy our neck of the woods. Always welcomed back!! Should see the âsummers last blast âout in Vernon. Really cool!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the Vernon suggestion. We appreciate it!
Solar really helped in that ice storm.
Nothings ever perfect but thatâs đđ»
Great video thx for sharing another great Texas State park. We love our state parks. Love those hole in the wall joints to eat. Safe travels.
Thanks Georgeana! We do too!
Stayed there last fall. Loved the pod setup for the campsites - especially since there were 3 RVers in our group. Did not go into WFalls, so now we have an excuse to go back and sightsee that area more. Great review, very enjoyable and informative. Hilarious about the story behind the tiny skyscraper. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Liz! There was a lot more to see and do in the area than we ever realized. And the farmers market was really good. We can see where the park setup would be perfect for groups! Enjoy your next trip over there. Safe travels and happy camping!
Wow....Outstanding video on the Park and Wichita Falls. I donât think I can top Lindaâs comments, but you can tell a lot of work goes into these videos. Thank You. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks so much Bob! We appreciate it and are so happy that we chose the campsite we did at Lake Arrowhead so we had y'all as neighbors! Looking forward to seeing y'all again.
đ
Weâve been to Lake Arrowhead SP twice in the last few months, and will be again in Sept. Weâll check out the stuff in Wichita Falls that you discovered. Thanks!
Have a great time Bob! We also found a good German restaurant that we forgot to film: Opa's Schnitzel Haus.
Check out branding iron for the best bbq
Seeing this video make me miss home im from wichita falls and visited lake arrowhead alot for fishing and visiting with family that live on the lake
Glad we could bring you a little bit of home! Thanks for watching.
You guys do great campground reviews. We visited Lake Arrowhead back in 2012. The Lake was way down due to drought. Nice to see the Lake has recovered. We stayed in one of the circular loops and could hear the jack pump and at night the coyotes. We were there in the late fall and the park was almost empty despite being a weekend. Guess the low lake level affected attendance. We took a hike and checked out the prairie dog village. Nice park to ride bikes around.
Thanks so much! The lake was way up during our visit due to recent rains. In fact, it was higher than normal in the day use area. The prairie dogs have moved over to the swimming area. They are so friendly!
Never been to that park, your video makes it look very interesting. Think I'll have to check it out.
Enjoy Ron!
Make sure you never need to use the restroom. THE PORTA POTTY IS DISGUSTING!!! My hubby and is and to do night fishing and the regular restrooms were locked up and no where for us to go the bathroom. Not worth the fee we pay to get in there. I will keep going to Oklahoma.
Excellent vid ya'll, thank you.
Thank you!
I sure do enjoy your videos. Very informative. It helps to get our ducks lined up as we get closer to retirement. As it is now we can only squeeze a week in here and there.
Thanks so much Patrick! There are so many great places to visit out there. Weâre honored to be able to help you make a list!
Great video. Donât think I would go on the swinging bridge. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jean! You definitely want your feet under you for that one! LOL
Nice looking park. Great video.
Thanks! We enjoyed it.
Those oil derricks provide some of the best crappie fishing on that lake that there is anywhere! If you gonna camp out there, an a/c is mandatory, we tried it once and it was a warm 101degrees at 1 a.m.. never again!
Good tip on the fishing! Thanks
You guys should of visited Lucy Park đ
I just finished watching the video & realized you guys did & also crossed the bridge! Every time I came to park, i walked across that bridge & I actually hurt my shoulder trying to go across with a bicycle đ
Great area over there! We would have 0 luck trying to cross that bridge on a bicycle! đ±
Great quality video guys. Love watching your channel.
Thanks so much! We're happy to have you along for the fun! :)
Loved the video! It really makes it feel like we're there with you. Another great job with the local features and history. Makes me really proud to be a Texan. Safe travels!
Thanks so much Susan! That is awesome!
Nice! Next time I visit my sister, Weâll go check it out! She lives close by in Frederick, OK. We go shopping in Wichita Falls a lot đ
Hey Linda! The folks at the park are great people. Tell them we said Hi!
They raise good fruit east of there in Charlie, TX, it's great to see water in the lake again. It was down to 30 percent a few years ago.
Several of the folks at the farmers market were from Charlie. We found some great stuff at that market. The lake was actually overfull when we were there... lots of rain recently.
The first time I tent camped out there in a tent I realized I'd made a HUGE mistake camping too close to that pump jack. Seems like it gets louder at night. LOL
Oh no! We couldn't hear it over the AC inside. But we can definitely see where you'd want to make sure your tent was set up further away.
I have lived here all my life and has been to the lake so many times but never took those trails . I'm going to go check them out now.. next time y'all are in town check out a restaurant called Willie's.. it's awesome and I think y'all would love it!!
Thanks Frances! Weâll check it out!
My wife wants to get out there also. Well wait for it to cool of first.
Wow! Your videos are superior, with so much history and scenery. And, thanks for telling us about campsites, the new red and green tags, etc. You two are so much fun to ride along with!! Stacie, where did you get your hat? I really like it, as it shades your neck and face well. Thanks, again, you two sweet peeps!! â€ïžđŸâ€ïž
Wow Judy! Thank you so much. You just made our day! That is an "Arctic" Hat. The wide brim does a great job of shading and the top material reflects the sun. If you pour water on the inside it gets really cold until it dries out. Here's a link to one like it on Amazon if you'd like more information: amzn.to/2K0gHZo .
RV Texas Y'all - Thanks so much!!
Hi I have been watching your videos for sometime now and you film great videos and go to amazing places in Texas the food is always good and there trails etc look cool to go to keep up the great videos.
Thanks so much! We're happy to know you are enjoying our videos! Thanks for watching.
A great video...I love to buy at Farmers markets.......I have seeds for Brads atomic tomatoes how do they taste.What a beautiful state park....Enjoy
Hey Annamay! They were good! We picked up a lot of good stuff at the Wichita Falls market.
Great video guys
Thanks Norm!
The crappie heaven
???
Glad y'all enjoyed your stay out at Arrowhead and got a chance to visit my home town. Gene's Tasty Burger was actually sold several years ago but still pretty good food. My step grandmother worked there as far back as I remember up until the 80's or 90's...can't remember now..lol Oh and that swinging bridge over in Lucy Park, it use to REALLY swing before they rebuilt it..Still fun though! The water is VERY shallow there so wouldn't advice jumping off of it. Next time you guys are through WF you might want to check out Wee-Chi-Tah Sculpture (we have a little video on our other YT channel of it) if you guys enjoy stuff like that. I've been here my entire life and every once in a while I learn of something new. Wichita Falls is not the most beautiful area but the majority of the folks in and around WF are really friendly.
Thanks for visiting WF and thanks for sharing,
Brandon
Thanks for the info Brandon! Weâll check out your video.
Howdy Stacie & Tom! I'm like y'all, have gone through Wichita Falls many times but never stopped unless it was to get fuel. Thanks for sharing Lake Arrowhead State Park (+ the new TPWD camping system) and the area! I'm willing to bet after eating at Gene's Tasty đ y'all needed a napđŽ, I know I would! Looking forward to the next stop video! Happy & safe travels Y'all đđŒ
Hey Ben! We definitely needed a nap... we were stuffed! LOL We also ate at a great little German restaurant called Opa's but we forgot to film anything there.
Make sure to check out the pro wrestling hall of fame in wichita falls!!
Next time you guys come down definitely check out Gutierrez restaurant, easily the best Mexican food in town !
Great to know. Thanks!
I have been there 4months ago and it was good place
Glad you enjoyed it too.
Well, you missed it. The Rotary Club park on Southwest PKWY, in Wichita Falls, across from the cemetery has a much, much bigger prairie dog village and also park swings and such for kids there. Unlike the state park at The Wichita Mountains, in Oklahoma, who fine you $250 dollars if they catch you feeding their prairie dogs, the Rotary Park prairie dogs are constantly fed by the public and the kids all love feeding them. The antique shopping and thrift store shopping in Wichita Falls is also a nice thing to come and see. The Hotter N Hell bicycle event is a yearly crowd draw, as is the Zombie Walk downtown, held in October. Personally, I do wish you could list which cities you are going to on your videos so one does not have to open each one to find a specific location from your travels. I wanted to see where you camped in West Texas or nearby Wichita Falls and not just at Lake Arrowhead. Did you ever hit the Wichita Mountains, up near Lawton, OK? Medicine Park is a virtually unknown area there, but well worth looking over as to campgrounds. Lots of unique shops there and The Mansion is well worth a visit to eat at the restaurant and learn of the early history of folks like Bonnie and Clyde having actually stayed there or even Al Capone and other gangland members. Nice video.
Thanks for the recommendations. We camped in Doris Campground in the Wichita Mountains in this video: czcams.com/video/jXYVFMqNiAg/video.html
I enjoy your park reviews and videos, thanks.
Thank you Andrew! We appreciate it.
Nice skyscraper..in court 2 quotes they got that?
đ
Thanks for the info on TEXAS State parks. I really enjoy the information yâall give to us. Wife and I are just starting and are wanting to go to south Texas for the winter but we have some reservations about the border crossing. It it safe down around Dona ? Thanks for the information
Hey Jerry! We havenât been that far south lately. But weâve talked with a lot of folks who enjoy wintering down in the Rio Grande Valley.
Once again, we really enjoyed the video! You may be surprised to hear that central Illinois has a lot of oil wells also. Thereâs a town there called Oilfield, and you know youâve arrived by the smell. Was there the smell of oil in your campground?
Hi Bob! That's interesting!! We guess that's the smell of money. LOL! But no, we didn't notice an oil smell in the park at all.
Was it a Long island ice tea before the bridge! Lol
Ya gotta wonder Dave! LOL
Lake Arrowhead is known as the premier White Crappie fishery
Good to know Bryon! Thanks!
I love crappie season at arrowhead.
The lake actually got down to around 5% during the drought. Most of the lake you could walk right across it.
Itâs a nice park, I been fishing there since I was young. The wardens here are complete jerks and will look for any reason to ticket you which has ran off a lot of visitors since they donât want to get hassled every time they go to the lake. But arrowhead is great for crappy fishin!
Glad to see the lake full again. In fact, it was overfull when we were there after all of the rain.
I live in Wichita Falls. How did yâall like it
We enjoyed our visit Colton. Thanks for asking!
And remember those cute prairie dogs fleas carry the bubonic plague. So just a word of caution to all!
i live 8n wichita falls tx
We had a great time!
I had a somewhat not a nice experience here. Was raining. 100F. No other campers were in the park. I was assigned a site, went to it unhooked. Employee came by said I got to move. Went to the office and was told had to move someone was in that spot...?....I told them that you assigned me this site..they insisted I move to the next site over. I did as told, in the rain & 100F plus. I was there just passing through and visiting Shepherd AFB. Next day, no one was in the site I moved from. With 50yrs of traveling and camping I've never experienced this. Traveled through area several times and won't stay there again. I'm sure it's changed but once burned I always learn.
That's a real shame, Gerald. We're sorry to hear you had to go through all of that. :(
Hello.My wife Sharon wanted to know if you can feature Denison Texas.And Sherson Texas.This is my wife home towns.Some day?Thank you very much.Be safe in your travels.lot of love.đâșđđđčđ·đ„Edward M.Walker.
Sounds like a great idea. Maybe one of these days! Thanks for the suggestion, Edward and Sharon.
Go to Crowell Txs state park
Thanks for the suggestion, Chara. Copper Breaks State Park is great! Weâll have a video coming up on it in the future.
When are we going to see more of âTomâs Cooking Cornerâ
Next Sunday Dave!
My mother was born here 1923
Historical showcase of that time and era would be interesting to imply the migration of ancestors to California
Cool
I agree
cool place .y'all are trying to sneak out of Texas LOL
Little by little! đ
Ripley's believe it or not got the Titl What? Believe me or not
What???
Having to pay for firewood that you should be allowed to go out and gather is NOT cool?! Well? I guess it IS cool, if it is because everyone has gathered all the wood laying around? What's the deal on the firewood? I'm now curious right "out of the shoot!"
Hi Annie. Texas State Parks do not allow you to collect firewood on your own. We don't mind buying firewood in the park because it supports the park.
What's a "toad"?
Hey Mark! Sorry about that! A "toad" is a towed vehicle. So in our case, we tow the Jeep behind the motorhome. So the Jeep is our toad.
@@rvamericayall Duh! That makes sense, I'm silly! Thanks
Are thier any governmental agencies dealing with relatively old standing of any amnestry with my mother' validated existence of birth.
Donât know
It's disc golf..says it right on the sign. lol Not frisbee. Big difference between a frisbee and a disc.
Gotcha! Thanks for the info. We don't see a lot of courses. If you don't mind, what are the main differences?
Great coverage. Thanks.
You're welcome. Thank you
@@rvamericayall LIke regular golf, you have disc that you throw with different weights that are made for different types of throws. Some that when you throw them are for maximum distance(drivers), some are for mid-range for approach shots. Putters are made for shots near the basket. Some are for beginners that are easier to control that fly more like a frisbee would fly but still a lot of technique is needed to be learned. It's good to have an experienced disc-golfer to give you lessons but usually by the end of an 18 hole round you start getting the hang of it. Give it a try...there's beautiful courses worldwide and lots of clubs and large tournaments all year long. go to www.pdga.com and check it out.
If I ever win the lottery(more than $5 million,I would donate money to every state park in Texas to go solar.
That would be awesome! Keep playing, Dale! đ
My inquiry needs met not just out of curiosity but what officials state to imply thier migration as a per day interference because of oil right demanded on those native Americans occupying the rural are soon to become as you'veade it out to be this day
Iâm confused with your comment???
Horrible town decent lake there's better ones like lake of the pins or possom kingdom.
Corwin LaMonte they should like 2% of the city lol
