"Close to Dallas/Fort Worth" Granbury by sswagner

Granbury has some nice features and can be a good place to stop for a visit. The center of town has been restored to its former glory and there are numerous shops in the main square. A large lake is nearby for recreational activities. There are also performances held in the theaters from time to time. On a summer weekend, this can be somewhat of a busy place as people from the nearby Metroplex tend to come down for a visit. A trip here can be effectively combined with a visit to nearby Glen Rose, which hosts Dinosaur Valley State Park and the Fossil Fim Wildlife Center.

• Pros:The town square, museums, lake, shops, and performances
• Cons:Can sometimes get a little crowded on the weekends.
• In a nutshell:This is a good place to experience the atmosphere of small town Texas
