Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

The first time most of us heard of Lake Tawakoni State Park, it was because of a massive spider web found at the site. But there’s more to this ten year old park than arachnids. Our State Park guide Bryan Frazier explains.

59—It really endeared itself to people nationwide because of that spectacular spider web that was one in a million. And so it put it on the map in some respect, but it’s a great place, too.

It’s just east of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, if you’re not familiar with that, near Wills Point, Texas. If you’re familiar with Dallas and the suburb of Mesquite, it’s just east of there, so a lot of people can find it that way.

It’s got access to a big lake, that’s good fishing. There are 78 campsites; 16 of them that are full hook-ups with water, eclectic, and sewer connections for RVs.

And for their 10 year anniversary–which is going to be on February 18–and it’s going to be from nine o’clock in the morning to six o’clock in the evening, there will be activities—everything form a kid’s bouncy house, to geocaching, to Dutch oven cooking, to fishing to toys and games and all different activities.

So, check it out on our website—and that’s texcasstateparks.org. And that’s Lake Tawakoni’s ten year anniversary.

That’s our show for today…with funding provided by Chevrolet, supporting outdoor recreation in Texas; because there’s life to be done.

For Texas Parks and Wildlife I’m Cecilia Nasti.
