Spend the Sunset of Summer Lakeside
 As the sun slowly sets on summer, soak up the last of its rays at a lakeside park. Spend the day swimming, grilling, fishing – free in state parks, paddling, or just dangling your toes in the cool water and relaxing. Many of your parks have lake access, including these:
Lake Tawakoni – E of DFW
Lake Somerville – W of Houston
Lake Corpus Christi – NW of Corpus Christi
Fairfield Lake – E of Waco
Lake Arrowhead – S of Wichita Falls
Once you find a park that appeals to you, pick a day to visit and make a reservation. Get outside and enjoy our last bit of summer, before it slips away.
Ranger John is back with a video on how to make yummy biscuits and gravy in a Dutch oven. This recipe has only 3 ingredients, so it's a good way to learn Dutch oven cooking. Ranger John also shows us how to start charcoal without using chemicals, tools for cooking, what to do if you forget something and other outdoor-cooking tips.
On your next park visit, try making biscuits and gravy in a Dutch oven. Then burn off those delicious calories with a hike or bike ride. See you out there!
