Scenic Route: Cooper Lake State Park
Lakeside state parks make great fall destinations as the temperatures remain warm enough to get out on the water yet cool enough to enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, and making s’mores by the campfire.

Cooper Lake State Park
Cooper Lake State Park has an added benefit of being one of the few places in Texas that sport fall foliage, offering the possibility of spotting trees displaying autumn’s vivid red, gold, and orange hues. This shoreline is located in the park’s South Sulphur Unit, which can be reached by Farm-to-Market Road 3505.
