Cedar Hill State Park

Arguably the most breathtaking drive in North Texas is down Farm-to-Market 1382, south of Interstate 20. You'll think you've driven too far south, somehow winding up in Central Texas Hill Country - except a lusher, greener version. The challenge is to keep your eye on the road instead of the rolling hills and dipping valleys, the blankets of impossibly thick forest and the sun sinking into a glistening Joe Pool Lake. Just 10 miles southwest of Dallas, Cedar Hill State Park offers some of the area's best scenery, outdoor recreation and communes with nature.
