Rusk, TX
December 29, 2010
On the way back from Nachadoches we stopped by this Ex-State Park
located in Rusk Texas. This park was transferred to American
Heritage Railways and operates as the Texas State Railroad Rusk park in 1997. The sister park is located in Palestine Texas and the railroad goes
back and forth between the two parks.
We didn't camp at this park but did appreciate the camping grounds.
The park reminded me a little of Bastrop SP with all of the tall pines
and wonderful shade. The railroad tracks go right through the
middle of the camping area.
The train station is a large complex located at the west end of the park.
We were interested in taking the train to Palestine, but it would of taken
over 4.5 hours and cost $275.
PROS
- ver y pretty park
- train
CONS
- close to highway - we could hear the roadway from the camping area.
