Davis Mountains State Park is a 2,709-acre (1,096 ha) state park located in the Davis Mountains in Jeff Davis County, Texas, United States. The closest town is Fort Davis, Texas. The park is a "sky island" with an elevation between 5,000 and 6,000 ft (1,500 and 1,800 m) above sea level, and as such, gets more rainfall and cooler temperatures than the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert.
Original improvements including Indian Lodge, a full-service hotel, were accomplished by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933. After this federal investment, the park was opened to the public around 1938. Indian Lodge was expanded and campground facilities were added by the state in 1967. The park and lodge are managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD).
