Surprisingly not in Georgia, this state park sits in the northeast corner of Texas. Unexpected location aside, this park offers hiking trails and nature trails aplenty. Recreational fishing is also a big draw here. Catfish, bass, and sunfish are up for the catching in beautiful Wright Patman Lake.
If you're interested in Native American history, you'll find much to pore over here. There's evidence that nomadic people occupied the area as much as 12,000 years ago! The region still holds artifacts of the Caddo Indians, the descendants of those nomads.
Most of the trails in this park are relatively easy hikes. The Arrowhead Trail is the way to go for the best view overall. This one leads you through the forest before depositing you at the lake.
The only somewhat challenging trail is the unassumingly named Hickory H

The only campground at Atlanta State Park not located on the lake (sad face), you’ll still be able to enjoy a wonderful camping experience and most of the other bells and whistles also available at Atlanta’s other campgrounds such as water/electricity hookups, picnic tables and bathroom/shower facilities.
