I grew up north of Dallas and we’d go on family camping trips all over the state, but we always traveled outside of the metroplex. I guess that’s why I was surprised to learn that Cedar Hill State Park was only about an hour from where I went to elementary school.
I had to be in Dallas for work on Saturday, so I drove up a day early to enjoy the park.
I packed my camping gear and borrowed a kayak to paddle Joe Pool Lake, then drove north. When I got to the park, I was even more surprised to find out about a little gem called Penn Farm.
