Texas offers a variety of destinations
With the summer months heating up and the economy in a slump, some Texans are sticking close to home for your summer getaway this year.
One idea is to let the cooling waters of the Texas Lakes Trail Region provide a refreshing and historic element to your Independence Day weekend or summer vacation plans.
Abundant with lakeside retreats and state parks, this 31-county region offers more than natural attractions.
Travelers can explore unique museums, restored courthouses and quaint towns surrounding the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
To learn more about the Texas Lakes Trail Region or the Texas Indepen-dence Trail Region visit www.texaslakestrail.com or www.texasindependencetrail.com.
