HISTORY: Schaffer Farm - Located on Historic Route 66 "The Jericho Gap" and Ghost Town. The Township of Jericho was founded in the late 1880's as a stage coach mail stop to change horses and feed any passengers aboard, settlers began to gather at the end of the Red River Wars in the late 1870's. 1900-1902 Construction began on a railroad track built by the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Texas Railroad Company. The first official train ran on July 6, 1902 through Jericho, cattle loading facilities were constructed to accommodate nearby large ranches and huge water storage reservoir was built by the railroad to refill steam engines. Jericho became famous in legend and folklore after congress authorized a new coast-to-coast highway in 1926, calling it Route 66. It's passage through Jericho added prosperity with several gas stations, mercantile stores, Hotel (Historic Hotel Lyons) and tourist courts built to serve the travelers. "WHY JERICHO GAP" The main reason for fame came from the stretch of highway between Alanreed and Groom which went through Jericho, rains or snowy weather caused these dirt roads to turn into gumbo-like mud becoming almost impassable to the vehicles of the time and still stands true to this day. FAMOUS PEOPLE OF JERICHO: Carolyn Jones, who played fictional character Morticia Addams from the Addams Family television and film series (1964) J.W. "Digger" Howard - Recognized for his community efforts and contributions to Western Heritage and his love for Team Roping which led him to the board of one of the largest team roping associations in the state at that time, The Texas Roping Association. HISTORIC JERICHO CEMETERY: Established in 1894 after an unusual outbreak of Malaria killed several settlers. The cause was traced to stagnant water at the spring where drinking water at the spring was obtained. Improvements to the facility were made eliminating the stagnant water. This cemetery is still active and is listed on the Texas historic registry.

The best camping near McClellan Creek National Grassland guide

Overview

About

Dive into the heart of Texas on your next camping adventure near McClellan Creek National Grassland. This lesser-known gem, enveloping the serene Lake McClellan, is a perfect launching point for many nearby activities, whether you're an angler, hiker, or ATV rider. Lake McClellan's waters teem with channel catfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass. With two boat ramps available, anglers can easily access the lake, while the northern ramp is exclusively reserved for their use. If you prefer the shoreline, the reservoir's entire perimeter welcomes you. The spring and fall seasons, with their milder temperatures, are particularly ideal for casting a line. For campers who prefer land-based adventures, the grassland, though spanning just about 1,500 acres, offers scenic hikes that weave through the woodlands surrounding Lake McClellan. A leisurely walk around the lake's shores, under the canopy's shade, is a refreshing experience. However, if you're visiting during the scorching Texas summer, it's wise to start early and stay hydrated. ATV enthusiasts will find the trails near the main campground at Lake McClellan exhilarating. While they might be short, these trails boast steep ascents and tight, winding turns, offering a thrilling ride even for seasoned riders. But remember, the Texas sun can be relentless, especially in summer, so come prepared. Camping near McClellan Creek National Grassland is an invitation to experience nature's bounty. So, pack your gear, and let this grassland be your next escape.
