Jacksboro’s central Texas location is at the intersection of 6 major highways: US Highways 281 and 380 and State Highways 199, 59, 114, and 148, This is the reason it is known that “ALL ROADS LEAD TO JACKSBORO”.
Jacksboro’s proximity to major highways, including US Highways 281 and 380, provides non-congested drives and exceptional access to interstate transportation routes, including Interstates 20, 44, and 35.
Jacksboro’s Twin Lakes, located on State Highway 59, is one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas you will find anywhere in Texas. The attractive, well-maintained lake area with its playgrounds, picnic areas, sand volleyball court, calm boating waters, and plentiful fishing are enjoyed daily by locals and visitors.
Jacksboro’s forward-thinking community leaders, high-quality schools and healthcare, easy access to the plentiful outdoor parks, and neighborly atmosphere grant a high-quality way of life for all who choose to do business, live, work, and play here.
