Lover's Retreat is one of the most scenic spots in Palo Pinto County. Back when it was open to the public, it was utilized as a meeting ground or picnic area for many of the annual events in the county. Families met here for reunions and churches held tent revivals. Many families report that it was the gathering place for their family reunion every year, especially back in the 1950's.
