History: Bastrop State Park is 5,926 total acres; approximately 30 miles
southeast of Austin in Bastrop County. It is the site of the famous "Lost
Pines," an isolated timbered region of loblolly pine and hardwoods. The park was
acquired by deeds from the city of Bastrop and private owners from 1933 to 1935;
the park opened in 1937. Additional acreage was acquired in 1979. Original
improvements at the park were made by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
