Cedar Hill State Park Texas 10/27/18
RV life and adventures with The Phoenix Ramblers :Filmed 10/27/2018 The flooding at Cedar Hill State Park is pretty bad.
Cedar Hill State Park
It's a great park and finally after all the flood damage the waters are receding and the park is open again.
The Primitive camping spot was nice and out of the way, but Im not sure how crowded it get's, we stayed at 323 which seemed to have the best view IMO
My only complaint is the amount of college kids that come here to unwind. I get it though, it is close to urban civilization so it's not a quiet park. If your coming here to unwind from civilization this State Park is not for you. You might have to drive out of the way anything near Dallas. Also coming during the weekday is less chance for a crowed. I stayed thursday and it was nice and peaceful until friday-saturday.
All the trails appear to be open I'm so excited for this park to get back on track. The trails were not so busy and it had a lot of beautiful views.

Cedar Hill State Park Part 1
Part 1 of Cedar Hill State Park. We arrived Friday evening on May 5, 2017, setup camp, and explored the park a little in the excursion. We at some really tasty beef kabobs and enjoyed a relaxing evening. On day two, Craig headed out to the bike trail and did a little mountain biking. When he returned to the camper, I was up and ready for a hike. We ended up doing about a 5 mile hike. The end of this video will be the end of that hike. Stay tuned for part 2. Thanks for watching!

Cedar Hill TX Downtown Business District Dallas Texas USA Suburb-- Channel Jamesss Today
Cedar Hill is a city in Dallas and Ellis counties in the U.S. state of Texas. It is located approximately 16 miles (26 km) southwest of downtown Dallas and is situated along the eastern shore of Joe Pool Lake and Cedar Hill State Park. The population was 45,028 at the 2010 census.[3]
Cedar Hill is a suburb of Dallas and is part of the Best Southwest area, which includes the nearby cities of DeSoto, Duncanville, and Lancaster.
Early in its history, Cedar Hill lay along a branch of the Chisholm Trail and served as the temporary county seat of Dallas County. In 1856, a tornado swept through the town killing nine people and destroying most of its buildings. The seat of the county was moved to Dallas not long after.
History
Cedar Hill was founded around 1846 by a small group of settlers from the Peters Colony. They came from Kentucky, Alabama, and surrounding areas to arrive in the Dallas area of North Texas. 197 families and 184 single men settled in what is now Cedar Hill, making it the largest settlement in the area at the time.[4]
Cedar Hill currently has 5 homes listed on the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places,[5] 4 historical structures on the Texas Historical Commission’s list of Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, and 2 graveyards designated as “Historical Texas Cemeteries” by the Texas Historical Commission, one of which is believed to be the oldest integrated cemetery in Dallas County.[6]
1856 Tornado
On April 29, 1856, Cedar Hill was struck by a tornado that claimed at least nine lives, damaged property, killed livestock, and reportedly left only two structures standing. Among the survivors was teacher and pastor, Robert Crawford. Crawford donated four acres of his land to church trustees to be designated as a free and indiscriminate public graveyard. Nine victims of the tornado were buried on Crawford’s land.[7][8]
The graveyard lay lost for about 100 years. It was rediscovered and certified by the Texas Historical Commission in 2006, and was named the Crawford Tornado Graveyard. The graveyard was reconsecrated in a blessing ceremony[9] on October 7, 2011. The Texas Historical Commission marker was officially placed on the site on April 29, 2012, the 156th anniversary of the tornado.[10]
Historic old home in Cedar Hill
Cedar Hill Bank Robbery
On October 8, 1932, the then First State Bank of Cedar Hill was robbed by Raymond Hamilton, a sidekick of bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde. After taking the money, he locked the employees in the vault and made his getaway. When Hamilton got wind of reports that some of the cash had been hidden during the first robbery, he returned to rob the bank again.[11][12]
The consecutive robberies took a toll on the bank, causing it to fall into financial ruin and ultimately close its doors for good.[11]
Raymond Hamilton was incarcerated at Eastham Prison in Lovelady, Texas on other charges when, on January 17, 1934, his partners, Bonnie and Clyde, broke him out of jail. The gang is known to have had an old hide out on the south edge of Cedar Hill and scattered places in the Mountain Creek Valley.[11]
Hamilton was later re-captured on April 24, 1934, after robbing a bank in nearby Lewisville, Texas. The building where the robbery took place still stands in Historic Downtown Cedar Hill. It is the current home of Cedar Hill Barbers. In March 2008, the building was designated as a historic resource by the City of Cedar Hill and bears an official medallion indicating its significance.[11]
