hummingbird. Visitors can also fish in the lake and enjoy ranger-led programs.
The swimming pool at Abilene State Park was closed earlier this year, due to a back order of parts. The COVID backlog has made it difficult to find replacement parts. The park’s swimming pool was built in the 1930s, but underwent renovations in 2014. The pool reopened in April 2018.
