Texas is full of state parks, but some get much more attention than others. Martin Dies Jr. State Park is hiding in the East Texas Piney Woods, far enough away from big cities that it’s unknown to many people. With lush woodland terrain, multiple waterways, and incredible biodiversity, this hidden gem belongs on everyone’s bucket list.
