Figured labor day weekend was a good time to take advantage of some day hikes at state parks a little further away from the DFW metro area that I needed to tick off. One location, Copper Breaks State Park, lived up to the expectations I had with amazing scenery and fun hikes. The other, Lake Arrowhead State Park, didn’t leave much of an impression on me. It’s fine for boating or locals to camp, but it certainly isn’t a destination park in my mind.
