March 2020 – Crosswalks and Cairns

*This post is sponsored by Davi Skincare.*

What day of the week is it? What time is it? Like most of the world, I am currently sheltered-in-place to prevent the spread of Covid 19 and the days are running.to.geth.er. Right? If you would have told me a month ago that due to the corona-virus, I would now be restricted from leaving my house or gathering with others, I would have said “There is no way I’m going to be able to handle that.” Though current circumstances are sad and far from ideal on many levels, I, (surprisingly) am doing ok! I am not a home body. I am “let’s go!” “what’s next?!” and “change of plans!” When it was announced that we’d be going into lockdown mode, I realized quickly that I was going to need to make a lot of changes.

I am proud to announce I have officially visited the five Texas state parks that are closest to Dallas! I have spent a lot of time scavenging Pinterest and Google for details on State Parks near Dallas, and to no one’s surprise, I didn’t turn up many results. I finally got on the Texas State Parks app myself and mapped out which parks were closest to me for the most convenient adventures. A few of them I had already been to, but a few I went to just for the sake of this blog post. (I love going to new state parks, so this blog post was a perfect excuse!) While there is only one state park near Dallas… if you are willing to drive about an hour, you have a few options as to where to take a hike or a camping trip! I’ll tell you what your options are, starting with the closest state park to Dallas! In this post I’ll show pictures and talk about our experience at each park. I’ll save some of the information to my highlights on Instagram for easy reference! Scroll to the end of this blog post for my personal park awards to determine which state park suits you best!
