Experience the beauty of East Texas in full fall color at Daingerfield State Park. Our 3.5-mile hike will cover all the main trails within the park, winding through towering pines and along the sparkling lake - perfect for enjoying crisp autumn air and colorful scenery.
After completing the main hike, we’ll pick from one of two places nearby to refuel with some great local food. For those wanting to stretch their legs further, there’s an optional extra hike at Lake Bob Sandlin State Park, adding more miles and new scenery to the day.
We’ll finish the day by camping among the beautiful fall woods of Daingerfield, gathering around a cozy campfire to relax and enjoy the evening under the stars. Whether you’re joining for the main hike, the optional mileage, or the full overnight experience, this adventure promises scenery, camaraderie, and a perfect autumn escape.
