If I'm honest, our first impression of Garner State Park was not great.

Lake Colorado City State Park, which is situated off of I-20 about half way between Abilene, TX and Midland, TX, is a bit of a diamond in the rough. Lake levels are low in this part of Texas, as it has been hit hard by drought the last several years. As of March 19,... Continue Reading →

We had the privilege of staying at the Monahans Sandhills State Park, located off of I-20 just a little west of Midland/Odessa, TX. What a fun place!
