Description

In the far southwest corner of Dallas County is a hilly patch of landscape called the Cedar Mountains, which can be a bit misleading. Nevertheless, this 1,826-acre preserve feels utterly rural, in spite of its proximity to urban life. Within the park are several elements that make it a destination for the outdoor enthusiast: Joe Pool Lake, one of the larger reservoirs in North Texas, offers about 100 miles of shoreline; more than 350 improved campsites and 30 primitive campsites punctuate the woodsy spread; and living history plays out at a reconstructed 1800s village called Penn Farm Agricultural History Center. The park is a primary destination for mountain bikers and birders, too.
