| 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:
|
Huntsville
State Park
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.
