Copper Breaks State Park Texas | Drive By - Part 1
Copper Breaks is nestled between Quanah and Crowell Texas on highway 6. The park offers many outdoor activities including breath taking views as well as sunsets, moderate hiking trails, camp sites and fishing. But most importantly, it offers you the opportunity to create lasting memories with family and friends. So, whether you are a set in the chair and read a book type, an explorer that wonders what is just around the bend, a rippin’ lips die hard fisherman, a photographer or a stargazer, Copper Breaks seems to have you covered. Copper Breaks State Park is part of the International Dark Sky Parks in the United States. Read more about this at According to Wikipedia, Copper Breaks State park hosts stargazing events monthly between April and October, I didn't see anything about this on the official state park web site though. Copper Breaks also includes a portion of the official state Texas Longhorn herds. Not sure what makes them official but that's what they say :-?
I know this first part was rather long, I am just trying to give people the opportunity to see the park and what it offers them, before they drive 50+ plus miles to visit this park. It is not the prettiest park you’ll ever see, but everyone has their own opinion of what is beautiful and what they could live without. It is worth a look if you are even a little close though.
Originally Copper Breaks was part of the land held by the Comanche and Kiowa Native American Indians. The land was purchased from a private land owner in 1970 and opened as a state park in 1974.

Quanah Parker (paused map) BEST Comanche Little Pony 1
READ ME.(Also see Comanche Little Pony 2 for additional info on Quanah Parker) COMANCHE HISTORY. (1) Comancheria or Comanche Territory. The Kiowas and Plains Apache were defeated by the Sioux at the Battle of Greasy Grass and lost their land. They came to the Comanches, and the Koo.choo.tuh.kas, and the Yapai.tuh.kas, our northernmost bands, allowed them to settle on Comanche land, but it was still Comanche land. Maps indicating the Kiowas own some land in Comancheria are erroneous. They arrived with no horses. When we first met you, you had dogs pulling your belongings.. - Comanche Chief Ten Bears to the Kiowa at the Medicine Lodge Treaty. The Southern Arapaho, and Southern Cheyenne also came to live in Comancheria after the Medicine Lodge Treaty of 1867, as did the Caddo, Delaware, Ft Sill Apache, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw. The Wichitas and Comanches had been old allies since the 1700's and never fought each other; the Wichitas farmed in Comancheria.. The Wichita, once the most powerful tribe, now was peaceful to all. Prior to this, the Comanches defeated all comers who came to settle there. (2) World War II Monument to the Code Talkers - The last Comanche Code talker, Charles Chibitty passed away in recent years, the Simian was honored to be a pallbearer, as he and his family were my friends. I presented His Flag to the Family on behalf of the President of the United States. (3) Quanah Parker Monumental Gravestone - 100 years ago this year, Quanah Parker was laid to rest at Post Oak Mission west of Lawton, Oklahoma. This mission land was given to the church by Quanah on behalf of the Comanches, and he marked a Post Oak Tree here as the site where it should built. He was buried at Post Oak Mission next to his mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, a white captive of the Comanche, who was raised from a young girl as a Comanche and married a chief. In 1926 Congress authorized a monument to Quanah at Post Oak and new burial services were held that year to dedicate the monument. In 1957 Quanah Parker was moved to Fort Sill Army Post north of Lawton, as was his mother. They lie near Gate One, a little to west. (4) Comancheria - included the Wichita Moutains and all of southwest Oklahoma. A lake backs up over some sacred burial sites, and some old favorite camping grounds along the creek that was running by Mountain Scott in the 1800's, and is now under Lake Lawtonka.
