If you are looking for great hiking trails in North Texas, consider Beavers Bend Resort Park in southeastern Oklahoma. It is just 3 hours from the Dallas/Fort Worth area (the Metroplex) by car. Beavers Bend Resort Park includes Beavers Bend State Park which offers free admission. The resort offers serious nature lovers the chance to hike along ridge tops, over creek bottoms, through tall stands of timber, and into areas so remote one can almost experience what early-day explorers must have felt upon seeing the area for the first time, at its pristine best.

Although most of the trail hiking north of Mount Greylock uses the Appalachian Trail for their core, the area offers several ‘loop hikes’ to keep things fresh. As these trails intersect repeatedly it is important to know that the Appalachian trail is blazed in white and the side trails in blue.

If you are planning a hiking trip that will take you far away, there are still many ways to research hiking parks and trails. The Internet is a nearly infinite source of resources, and you will probably find plenty of good information with a simple Google search. Even if you find a flood of facts while you surf the ‘net, don’t forget to ask questions once you arrive at your hiking destination. Locals can be a great resource because they are familiar with the area and likely have more experience with its hike.

If you are hiking in a group, then you should consider the individual capabilities and needs. Family hiking is what people prefer to do nowadays and such trails are usually easy due to young children. You would form more closer bonds if you go on family hikes together.

People love hiking for many reasons. Some find it as a challenge. While other recreational activities–like basketball or baseball–offer fun and excitement, they believe that hiking generates more thrill and surprises. A hiking trail never stays the same, posing new sets of challenges to hikers every time they try to test it. Of course much of the credit goes to the affluent wonders of nature, where hikers get treated to a variety of scenery and landscaping, making each experience a unique adventure and each adventure a unique experience.

If the family is accompanied by a dog, they need to first make sure dogs are allowed in the hiking area. Dogs usually love to go hiking, but require their own set of supplies. Bring bags to clean up after the dog. Most hiking trails require that dogs remain on a leash during the hike, and this is safest both for the dog and for other hikers and dogs on the trail. Dogs also need their own supply of water. They are equally liable to become dehydrated, and can’t say so if they are. Be sure to be aware of how the dog is feeling during the hike.
