news about State Parks

Interesting article in this mornings paper, with some surprising numbers.

State parks are the place to be as gas prices continue to climb | Top Stories | Star-Telegram.com

Most visited parks for fiscal 2007

1.Cedar hill 531,000
2. Goose Island 371,000
3. Mustang Island 342,000
4. San Jacinto 330,000
5. Garner 303,000
6. Palo Duro 301,000
7. Brazos Bend 258,000
8. Galveston Island 243,000
9. Lake Casa Blanca 234,000
10. Bastrop 225,000

Numbers affected by proximity to the metro mess I am sure. Growth at parks may 2007 to May 2008: 15.8% all parks, 65.5% at Dinosaur Valley, 59.4% at Ray Roberts Johnson branch, 52% at Cedar Hill.

Get your reservations in early...
