Possum Kingdom Lake Gateway
Welcome to Graford, a small Palo Pinto County town set twelve miles from Possum Kingdom Lake's boating and fishing.
Graford is a small incorporated town in Palo Pinto County, Texas, in the north-central part of the state. With a population of roughly 670, it is among the smallest communities to hold city status in the region, and its identity is defined less by size than by its proximity to Possum Kingdom Lake, one of Texas's premier recreational reservoirs, about twelve miles to the west. Graford sits along State Highway 254, roughly midway between Mineral Wells and Graham, in a landscape of rolling hills, mesquite, and ranchland. The town itself is compact, centered on its school, churches, and a small commercial core that serves the surrounding agricultural and lakeside population. The area lies within the Cross Timbers, a transitional ecological region of north-central Texas. Possum Kingdom Lake shapes the area's economy and recreation. The lake, impounded on the Brazos River, draws boaters, anglers, campers, and scuba divers from across Texas, and the Graford area hosts marinas, boat-rental operations, and RV resorts along the shoreline. Golfing, fishing, and water sports are central to the local recreation scene. Public education is provided by Graford Independent School District, which serves the town and a wide surrounding rural area. The district's school is a focal point of community life in a region where residents otherwise travel to Mineral Wells or Graham for shopping and services. Graford's housing consists of small-town homes within the city and a scattering of rural, ranch, and lake-area properties beyond it. The area appeals to those seeking a quiet, country setting within reach of Possum Kingdom Lake's recreation and the larger towns of the region.
