One of the best state parks in Texas is tucked away just an hour north of the bustling DFW metro. Ray Roberts Lake State Park is spread across nine separate units, offering a peaceful waterfront escape without straying too far from the city. Portions of the park are well-known and popular, but the majority of the units remain hidden gems. No matter how you decide to explore this vast natural playground, you’ll never forget your visit.
