Dinosaur Valley State Park — Attraction in Granbury

If you're planning a visit, make sure to arrive early! While parking is sufficient, it can get limited as everyone arrives for the day.

The location boasts a spacious picnic area equipped with grills and tethers for your furry friends. You'll find plumbing for restrooms in the picnic area, along with portable toilets at the entrances to most trails.

The water is stunningly clear, allowing you to spot everything from dinosaur footprints to seashells. The trails are clean and well-maintained, with connections that let you choose between long treks or shorter loops. Most trails are shaded, providing a welcome break from the sun.

(2)trail was up against my site and hikers “side quest” would bring them straight through our site, unwelcome visits. Staff was amazing and it’s a perfect place to escape the heat of a...
