Over 17,000 acres of boating,

fishing, camping, parks and skiing.

Mount Pleasant offers access to Lakes Bob

Sandlin, Monticello and Welsh, all famed for outstanding

bass, crappie and catfish.

Lake Bob Sandlin: For recreation, the crown jewel of Lake

Bob Sandlin is the beautiful 641 acre state park. Its 1.6 miles

of shoreline lie along the fringe of an ancient Indian trail, the

Cherokee Trace. The 9,460 acre reservoir is five miles southwest

of Mount Pleasant.

Lake Monticello: This 2,000-acre cooling reservoir for

Luminant’s Monticello Steam Electric Station produces more

bass per acre than any lake in the state of Texas. A county park

provides rest rooms, camping facilities and boat ramps.

Lake Welsh: This AEP Swepco cooling reservoir draws most of

its trophy bass fishermen during cold winter months.

Town Lake: Built in 1937 as a water supply reservoir, a grass

planting project along Town Lake’s shore gave birth to Mount

Pleasant’s municipal golf course. This recreational park is

located at 2508 N. Jefferson featuring picnic tables, grills and

two boat ramps.

Dellwood Park: Once the site of a well-known health resort,

this 45 acre park was famous for its mineral springs and used as

campgrounds by the Caddo Indians. The park has a swimming

pool, jogging trail, nature trail, tennis courts, picnic tables,

pavilions, playground and sports fields. Hwy. 49 East.
