Herman Baker Park

Herman Baker Park is a large community park located on 83 acres.  Within the park, Pickens Lake has a considerable amount of shoreline and a nature trail system around the lake.  The lake dam is a very popular location for sledding after every snowfall in Sherman.  The park has mature vegetation and wildlife, giving it a private, naturalistic and serene setting.  It's hard to believe that you are still inside the city when you visit Herman Baker Park.

Recently, the Texas Parks and Wildlife dropped in several fish habitats into the lake. These fisheries will give small fish a place to hide and grow and big fish a place to repopulate.fisheries location
