Location Description

Prairie Dell is on Interstate Highway 35 thirteen miles south of Belton in south central Bell County. Prairie Dell was once the site of a roadside attraction and later the principle set for the sequel to the movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." The sequel, identifiable by the presence of a Roman numeral at the end of the original title, was filmed at what used to be the Prairie Dell Lake Amusement Park, which flourished briefly just off IH-35, south of Salado. It carries a Jarrell mailing address. The amusement park is long gone. In its place today is the Emerald Lake RV Park.
