STATE PARKS -- LAKE TAWAKONI: Spiders put this park on 
the map, but its amenities keep folks coming back ... 
details on 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. And it's 
just east of the DFW 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're 78 
campsites; there's 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'll 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.
