White Rock Lake Park - Dallas Hotels .com

Located in East Dallas, White Rock Lake Park is probably the most popular recreational area of Dallas and home to the Dallas Arboretum. The park's 1,000 acres of wooded parkland is endless and fun to explore. Joggers and bikers can be seen enjoying the beautiful trails while at the lake and its piers people idle time away fishing catfish, sunfish and bass. The scenic beauty of the lake is a major draw for tourists and locals alike. Here you can find Winter Pelicans, ducks, geese and lots of boats sailing away. Spring flowers are also a refreshing sight here.

The park is also home to The Corinthian Sailing Club which promotes sailing and sailboat racing in Dallas. On Sundays, you can watch afternoon boat races. The club holds several major regattas and sponsors many social activities and teaches sailing.

The park also serves as a bird sanctuary and you can find lots of bird species here. White Rock Lake Park also hosts a number of events such as the March of Dimes Walk America and White Rock Marathon runs.

About a mile away, you can dine at Franki's Li'l Europe. This local favorite serves nice goulash, cabbage rolls and squash ravioli. This place has a full bar and you can enjoy beer or wine with your meal.
