This is THE book on Texas Parks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I do not intend to write a lot about this book. I have camped/hiked in most of Texas' great parks. This is THE book to tell you enough about each to pique your curiosity in (or deter you from going to)any and all Texas State Parks. I have given this book to all of my friends who like to camp, hike, drive to and enjoy the outdoors.
Good Look at Texas State Parks

More a coffeetable book showcasing the diversity and beauty of Texas State Parks than a detailed guide to the same, the Official Guide... nevertheless makes a good addition to one's Texas travel library. Coupled with Parent's Hikers Guide to Texas and various online resources, outdoors enthusiasts' only problem will be in deciding which parks to visit first! :)Includes addresses and contact information to the state parks for additional information.
Helpful guide for Texans as well as visitors to Texas

Laurence Parent's "Official Guide to Texas State Parks" is a practical and beautiful presentationof the rich variety of public-accessiblelands of Texas. Divided into seven areas, it gives succinct but helpful descriptions of parks in "Big Bend Country", "Gulf Coast", "Hill Country", "Panhandle Plains","Piney Woods", "Prairies and Lakes",and "South Texas Plains". There are beautiful color photographs of most of the parksand just enough history and information towhet your appetite to see it, (but notenough to make you feel you've seen it,so why bother?) I am ordering copies for myTexas grandchildren to present, along witha Texas roadmap and a promise of bothdaytrips (from the Houston area) andcamping trips in the near future. This isa great reference book as well asjust entertaining reading.
