Drive an hour north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to vast grasslands. These areas offer a variety of recreation, including hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback, riding, and mountain biking. It's easy to imagine thousands of cattle grazing here along these sweeping plains.
Head to Black Creek Lake northwest of Decatur for some great fishing. At 35 acres, this is the largest lake in the grasslands. Cast your line from a boat or the shoreline. Hook some channel cats for a tasty dinner back at your campsite next to the lake.
Plenty of small lakes dot the landscape through these rolling hills. The smallest is one-fourth of an acre. Discover Rhodes Lake and Clear Lake for more fishing opportunities.

Hike through rolling hills and tall grass on 75 miles of trails. Rustic campers can pitch a tent just about anywhere in these grasslands. Check out the seven walk-in units at Black Creek Lake for convenience. None of the sites here have potable water.
