Rita Blanca National Grassland

Rita Blanca National Grassland spans nearly 93,000 acres across the Texas Panhandle, offering wide-open prairie landscape managed by the Forest Service for multiple-use recreation. Visitors will find dispersed camping throughout the grassland, along with fishing opportunities, hunting seasons, and scenic driving across the open terrain. Trails and horseback riding are available for those exploring the grassland on foot or horseback, and the landscape supports wildlife viewing and photography. Access is straightforward for a remote public land area, though services are minimal—come prepared with water and supplies. Spring through fall offers the most comfortable visiting conditions, with summer heat and winter cold presenting the main seasonal challenges.
