Have a GPS app handy on your phone. The park trails map give precise GPS coordinates for several of the footprints. It can be a pain to work the GPS while hiking or with spotty cell signal.

Dinosaur tracks were pretty cool. Especially at the end of the River Expedition. Beautiful park . Nice Park Rangers. Great turnout

Russell Balliet

Track spot #4 is by far the best stop. From behind campsite #1 follow the trails to the right down a steep path to the river . Follow the path along the river for about 1/4 mile till you see the tracks

We had such a great time with the River Expedition!! The Rangers were great. The water kept us cool.

Really nice staff . Only had a little time to kill before a flight so did a quick drive. Lots of trails and camps nice and clean . Worth a stop and next time I will spend more time.

Fun place to visit and not too long of a drive from the DFW area! The dinosaur tracks are worth seeing!

It is very hot here in July went there with my family for my birthday and the water was low, but overall it was a fantastic trip, bring lots of sun gear and water!!

Looked cheesy at first ... Well worth it . Had a good time . Adult friendly for sure

Stephanie Cain

An amazing and beautiful park . See the tracks at spot 2 and do some hiking !

Leslie Barrows

If you go during spring break go art . They open at 9am. The walking tour took about 30 minutes with 2 three year olds and a six year old. Really a place for smaller children. The staff is nice.

Liz Taylor

Go during the summer so you can enjoy the water & the trails are awesome

Pamela

Plan about an hour to walk the trail . Pack a lunch and make an afternoon out of it!

Jason Valerius

Dino tracks !!! What else can I say? Totally cool!

Pretty fun. Kept the kiddos entertained. A little too pricey for looking at statues if you ask me

Turtles Travel

Dinosaur tracks ! And a great place for a hike .

Robert Acosta

Tracks are worth the hike . Great camping spot!

Devin Davis

What happened to state parks being for free? I had to pay $10 (for two) for the first time ever to just enter the park . It wasn't even worth that if you're just looking!

Rachel Linder

Take advantage of the fire pits and make s'mores !

Krista K

Don't bother going to the museum . You can see everything in there for sale the gift shop .

Rebekah Powledge

Dogs on leash are welcome to visit too!

Jonathan Jeter

There are no public bathrooms in the gift shop , but there are restrooms at the entrance.

Michael DeGroat

If you don't mind the walk (1.4 miles), remote site #4 is a great place!

Jordon Heflin

It's so worth crossing the rope

Beautiful lake! Was dry for a few years so I am beyond happy to ace it back. Hopeful the BRA doesn't let it all out so we can all continue to enjoy this cute city, great downtown and amazing lake. - katy ramsey

For a road trip guilty pleasure, I prefer the blizzard over all other options. Heath, Oreo, or snickers are all top notch. Don't be fooled by cheap imitators. - David Pitts
