parks

Not surprisingly, Texas can claim some big damn parks. Some of the biggest state parks in the nation are in Texas and we have one of the top 10 biggest urban parks in the world. That one, (#8), lies completely within the west Texas town of El Paso.

It's about time for a splashing good time in East Texas.

Lookie what I found... TexarkanaMaps.com, a site that gives you tons of information right at your fingertips for both sides of town, which means it's "twice as nice?"

It's that time of year (well as soon as the rain stops) to get outside enjoy the fresh air and get a little exercise, too. We have some wonderful areas to take a walk, jog or ride your bike.
