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!
