Bonham, Texas - Monday, May 24, 2010, the Texas Business Women of Bonham, Fannin County, Texas (TBW) formerly known as BPW welcomed their speaker, Bonham State Park Manager Lee Ellis.  Mr. Ellis gave a descriptive presentation of how the Bonham State Park is a huge tourist attraction for our area.  

The 261-acre park contains a beautiful and tranquil 65-acre lake which provides the perfect setting for camping, picnicking, mountain biking, boating, canoe rentals and a newly sanded beach for swimming.  This scenic lake offers largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, bluegill and you do not have to purchase a fishing license to fish at the lake in Bonham State Park.
