Right of Way Planned for Davis Mountains Scenic Route
Plans push forward for a scenic Davis Mountains highway linking Ft. Davis to upper Limpia canyon. The transfer of 1,200 acres to the State Highway Department has been completed, with landowners’ rights of way assignments turned over to the highway commission. Camp sites along the road may be donated, and construction could start after provisions are met, possibly using convict labor. The project ties to a broader state park program including Mekittrick Canyon, Palo Duro, and Caddo Lake proposals, backed by the Davis Mountains State Park Association and backed by lawmakers and officials.
