Dinosaur Valley State Park

The Paluxy River flows over solid rock that contains the best-preserved dinosaur tracks in Texas. It was here that the first tracks in the world from sauropods—plant-eating reptiles more than 60 feet long—were discovered. Other tracks found in the riverbed are from duckbilled dinosaurs, about 30 feet long, and theropods, which were 12-foot-tall meat-eaters. Interpretive exhibits give visitors a glimpse of how Texas might have looked 100 million years ago. The 1,204-acre park also offers camping, picnicking and nature trails. Admission and camping fees. 1629 Park Road 59, about five miles west of town via U.S. 67 and F.M. 205. 254/897-4588, 800/792-1112. www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/dinosaur_valley.
