Here's another trip we took last May that I forgot to post. This trip was for our 9th wedding anniversary!
Ray Roberts Lake State Park has three units, the Jordan Unit, the Johnson Unit and the Isle du Bois Unit. We visited the Jordan Unit, because we wanted to stay in the Lantana Lodge. There are quite a few hiking trails at the park, leading from one unit to the other. We took the trail that leads east from from the lodge (see map on site below) and that goes 3.5 miles to a turn-around loop. I think we only made it about halfway down the trail....the part we did cover was very nice...it paralleled the shoreline and had lots of trees. It was a cool, breezy day and my husband and I tucked ourselves away on blankets in a private spot under the trees with a view of the lake (this is why we didn't make it all the way to the end!). We saw no one else on the trail (amazing on a Saturday) and our dogs enjoyed running up and down the beach and sticking their feet in the water. I hope to go back another time to do the other trails (and maybe finish that first one).
About Lantana Lodge: Our room was tiny but very cute...and we really liked the fact that they let us bring our dogs for a small extra fee. It has a really nice large porch with lots of chairs and deck area with a boat dock....a really beautiful setting. Unfortunately, there was a wedding taking place there that weekend and the walls are very thin! People were partying and yelling outside and music was playing so we couldn't sleep. Finally about midnight we got up and drove home....okay since we only lived about an 90 minutes away. I just discovered by looking at the website that there is also a Lake Ray Roberts-Lake Lewisville Greenbelt Corridor (20 miles of multiuse trails along the Trinity River that lead from one lake to the other). We may have to try that one out as well.
