On our way home from Strawn, we stopped in Mineral Wells to check out Lake Mineral Wells State Park. We had heard lots of great things about it. Side note - Nate and I love to drive through state parks to check them out! We like to see if it's somewhere we'd enjoy camping one day. Anyhow, the state park was kind enough to let us do a drive-through.
The state park was gorgeous and looked like a fun place to spend some summer days/nights! We were impressed by the large swimming area. We will be adding it to our "places to camp" list.
