All about Lake Tawakoni
Nearly 200 miles of shoreline gird this reservoir, which provides water to the Dallas metro area 77 miles west. Unsurprisingly, visitors to its state park tend to make a splash swimming, fishing, and boating (kayaks and pontoon boats dominate). But the area has other charms, too, from geocaching to mountain biking trails. Birders also flock Lake Tawakoni to spot rusty blackbirds, indigo buntings, and ruby-throated hummingbirds amid terrain ranging from tallgrass prairie to post oak savannah. And don’t forget to look for dragonflies in the wildflower meadows. Together the towns of West and East Tawakoni number around 3,000 residents. So this is not a bright lights, big city destination. But if you want to kick back, chill out, and cast a line for striped bass or crappie, this lovely lake makes for a great getaway.
What are the top things to do in Lake Tawakoni?
The Texas Woofus
Sixty miles west of Lake Tawakoni, a funky, fake-mythological statue presides over Fair Park, a National Historic Landmark. Created for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, the Woofus mashes up the state’s livestock staples. It boasts a hog body, plus a horse neck, turkey tail, duck wings, and the head of a sheep. It’s crowned by the headgear of the state’s official large mammal, the Texas longhorn.
Texas Triffid Ranch
Keep the cryptid kicks going 15 miles south, home to Dallas’s “pretty much only carnivorous plant gallery.” While the name riffs on ambulatory science fiction shrubs that prey on people, the ranch actually crafts unique enclosures for sundews, butterworts, pitcher plants, and other flora that consume insects or animals. This lush, loony space welcomes the public for open houses and by appointment.
The Traveling Man
Three giant robot installations preside over the boho Dallas neighborhood of Deep Ellum. One shows the stainless steel hero rising up from the earth. Another iteration lounges and jams on a guitar, while the last is frozen mid-stride. But don’t stop there: this soulful section of the city has at least 50 more street art masterpieces, including Jolly, a steampunky smoker that still makes a mean brisket.
