Huntsville State Park and Elkins Lake. (original) (raw)

However, before leaving Huntsville, take the time to drive south on Interstate 45, and look for the turnoff to two other places you'll want to visit before completing this drive:

A 2,000-acre park with hiking and biking trails, paddle boats, screened shelters, and campsites overlooking scenic Raven Lake. Website: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/huntsvil/huntsvil.htm

Elkins Lake

Here, be sure to drive slowly through one of Huntsville"s most prestigious residential areas with a peaceful lake, rolling hills, winding streets, and thousands of tall pines, all complemented by Judge Elkins' spacious log Manor House, now a country club.
