Myth #1 About State Parks–They’re Boring
This is Passport to Texas
Our state park guide, Bryan Frazier, says when it comes to our parks and the outdoors, we can hold a slew of unwarranted beliefs. One of the biggies out there is that state parks are boring—that they’re places where only retired people in RV’s go for the winter.
That is a very real stereotype out there, and we want to address that in the fact that it is completely NOT the case.
I would encourage people to think back of when’s the last time they took their family on a camping trip. On a fishing trip, or went canoeing, or kayaking, or even just went on a picnic with their girlfriend, or boyfriend, or significant other.
I think they’ll realize just how profound the memories can be and the things that happen that you don’t expect to happen.
Those are sometimes the most fun of all: the wildlife that you see, the experiences…if that’s what people really think…give it a second chance…and I think they’ll come to realize and remember just how enjoyable and exciting state parks can be.
Thanks, Bryan.
