      Thank you and yes I like when parks mark the trails. Sometimes the markers are random. This and Garner SP are the only parks that I seen put painted color markers on the rocks/trees. Thanks for watching and stopping by.

    Another fantastic park review! When we went, it was an insanely busy park. I'd love to go back and do several of those trails. Devil's Waterhole is a good one we did. Looks like you liked it too. 😁 Great campsite overview too. Nicely done. 💪

      Thanks Takacs for the thoughtful comment 😊. I want to go back and finish the rest of the trails. It was over 90 degrees and we decided to jump in the Devil’s waterhole. Yes and the park was packed to capacity. What’s cool too, Longhorn caverns are near the park. Planning on going to that one soon. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    Interesting video. Does the admission per person thing happen a lot in Texas for state parks? In Illinois state parks don't have entrance fees. There are a lot of semi-private places and gardens that have fees person or per car. I guess it makes sense to charge people actually using the park rather than a general tax with state or local government run parks.

    • @MrSTravelQuest
      @MrSTravelQuest  3 роки тому +1

      If you have a park pass you can get in to all the parks at night cost. The State Park pass is $70 for the year. When I visited North Carolina the State Parks were free. Thanks for stopping by, my next video I used the 24mm EFS lens. I made the purchase after watching your video.

      Thank you so much! Yes this park is perfect for Stargazing. Here's a Inks Lake SP trail map ----> (tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/inks-lake/map ) The best spot in my opinion is on the Pecan flat trail. It's the highest elevation of the park and you can see the dark night skies. If you don't want to hike in the dark and play it safe. Check out the Amphitheater trail, it's a short hike overlooking the water. Good luck on the date!
