Fishing

A sprawling state park spread across multiple units around a beautiful North Texas lake. The Isle du Bois unit has a sandy beach swimming area that kids go crazy for, plus a kids-only fishing pond that is stocked and practically guarantees a catch. The 20-mile Greenbelt Corridor trail connects the park units and is paved enough for strollers and training wheels. Camping options range from tent sites to screened shelters.

A luxury ranch resort set on 11,000 acres in the Texas Hill Country near Glen Rose. Families can enjoy horseback riding, fishing, archery, and guided nature hikes. It’s a perfect weekend getaway where kids can unplug and explore real ranch life.
