    Favorite State Parks

    I’m looking to book some spring time RV weekends. 8 year old daughter, my wife and I. Biking and hiking would be the main plans assuming I book too early in the year to swim. Plan to get the kiddo into geocaching to have a reason to walk around. Any favorite parks? We’re in Northwest Houston and prefer a 2-4 hour drive.

    Well that last sentence rules both these out, but Davis Mountains and Caprock Canyons.

    ETA: Goose Island is also a good one. Not sure how far that would be from you.

      Pushing the 4 hour window but Mineral Wells & Dinosaur Valley were my favorites when I lived in the DFW area.

        Garner State Park is my favorite. Llano State Park is also a good one. Inx Lake, Brazos Bend State Park is quickly becoming a regular spot for the wife and I to hike and ride our bikes.

                I have a nephew that would love dinosaur valley. Can you usually see the footprints? It is dependent on water level, correct?

                    Yes you can see the footprints. They are in the river bed but I’ve never been when you couldn’t see them

                      Colorado Bend State Park has always been one of my favorites along with several that have already been mentioned above.

                          Inks Lake gets my vote.

                            FYI the popular ones fill pretty quick so book early. I think you can book 6 months out online.

                              Good advice right there.
