About Winkler Park
Overview
Winkler Park is a small, primitive campground on the northern shore of Belton Lake in Central Texas.

The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River. Belton Lake is a long, narrow and winding lake with many curves and coves, providing some of the best camping, fishing, and boating in Central Texas.
Recreation
With 136 miles of shoreline, Belton Lake offers a wide variety of recreation activities. Winkler Park is most popular for it's close proximity to the shoreline for campers and fishermen alike and getting back to rustic style camping.

Winkler Park is nestled against the White Flint Wildlife Management Area, which boasts great opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing and hunting. A short way down the road, campers can visit White Flint Park, which has a day use area that provides a multi-lane boat ramp and courtesy dock.
