Mother Neff State Park
is located six miles west of Moody on the banks of the Leon River. Pecan,
liveoak and cedar are a few of the many trees that invite visitors to enjoy
their restful shade.
A native rock entrance, a club house and a tabernacle were built during the
Roosevelt administration. Pat Neff gave the Park to the State of Texas in
memory of his mother.
|
Bridle paths, trails, parking areas, picnic grounds are dotted all over the
park. A tall tower is on the north side of the park. From its top one may
view the winding river, lush grazing grounds and fertile fields.
The park is well kept and many people from near and far enjoy its quiet
peacefulness and its beauty throughout the year.
