Sitting right on Joe Pool Lake barely 20 minutes from downtown Dallas, this park feels way more remote than it actually is.

The DORBA mountain bike trails are a blast for older kids ready to ride dirt, and the 350 campsites make it one of the easiest places to plan an overnight camping trip close to the city.
