Setting
On the water
Sitting on the northern edge of the Hill Country just 30 minutes southwest of Fort Worth, this park feels like an escape without the long road trip. The spring-fed lake is no-wake, so kids can swim, kayak, and canoe without dodging powerboats. Nearly 13 miles of trails wind through rolling terrain, and every campsite has electric hookups, which makes family camping significantly more comfortable. A small park store sells firewood, ice, and basic supplies.
