Through winding roads we went, viewing a plethora of people enjoying nature with their friends, families, and loved ones.
There is a wide selection of nature fun to keep yourself occupied
Even a library so you can grab a book, find a shady spot to hang a hammock, and proceed to idle the day away if it so pleases you.
Not failing to mention, there are great fields for frisbee, frolicking, playing catch, and any other field activity your imagination can conjure up!
At Daingerfield State Park, you may fish from boat or shore without a fishing license!
You can bring your own bait or purchase worms at the park store.
At the end of your line, you may find crappie, bass, catfish, perch or chain pickerel.
The lake is a smaller body of water so motorboat speeds are limited to 5 mph.
We personally like that a speed limit is placed on motorboats because the majority of people on the water will be aboard man-powered craft.
Bring your own, or available for rent are kayaks, paddle boats, canoes & paddle boards!
Here is a link to an INTERACTIVE TRAIL MAP
Or, if you prefer a paper map we can offer that too! (click below)
Daingerfield State Park trail system can get a little confusing at some points and although you should always be sure to bring water and take the proper precautions.Peace of mind can come with knowing that Daingerfield State Park is no where near as gigantic as say Yellowstone National Park!We were in no rush and had plenty of time to enjoy nature.
We won’t forget our dog friend we made along the trail!
Dogs are allowed with proper leash but we happened upon a potential neighborhood dog (according to rangers) that we thought may have been lost regardless of his intent upon leading us down the trail.
He was hesitant to visit at first but it didn’t take long at all as we kept up the friendly vibe.
He rapidly changed his mind about us and was quite excited to have us as his new wilderness companions.
Our stout snub-nose was as merry as could be with jumps for joy to show it!!
That was just another reason we were glad it wasn’t too muddy out.
We lovingly gave GUGA, his name for the day, as his tags did not specify and he made the “guga” noise when we gave him loving. If you like dogs, well larger dogs, you know what sound I am talking about.
Anyhow, he followed us all the way to Vandit (our campervan) and as I was getting ready to pull a leash out to take him around to see if we could find his owner, the rangers just happened to be coming by in their gator all-terrain vehicle.
As soon as he saw that, I think he knew that was his cue to head home because he was off like a lightning bolt and that was the last we saw of our friend.
Maybe you will be able to get him to give you a tour too!
He does know where the secret water holes are if you are that thirsty.
