Train

A two-for-one family stop in the heart of Beavers Bend State Park offering both a replica 1/3 scale train ride through towering Ouachita pines and guided horseback trail rides along peaceful forest paths. The train leaves every 30 minutes and is a huge hit with younger kids while horseback rides depart hourly and welcome riders as young as 3. Pairing the train with a short horseback ride makes for a perfect morning that covers both the little ones and older kids.

A charming open-air heritage park filled with restored historic buildings from Frisco’s early days including a log cabin, one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, and old church. Kids love climbing around the vintage train depot and posing next to the steam locomotive and wooden caboose. The variety of textures and backdrops makes it one of the most popular spots in Frisco for senior portraits and family photos. You can get a completely different look every few steps without leaving the grounds.
