Indian Creek Rv Park

 Would you expect rock cliffs in East Texas?  Well . . . . .

Indian Creek is just a few minutes from Winnsboro, Quitman, Emory, Canton, Mineola and lots of other East Texas towns. 

East Texas is a tourist paradise, with so many antique shops, curio shops, music festivals and great restaurants that you will never run out of things to do. We've found so many "favorite" places to eat in East Texas, that it's hard to stay home!  We've been here for three years now and we're still finding new places to eat and wonderful new things to see and do!  

Quitman is just a few minutes away and the city park there is worth seeing.  It has a great pavillion, walking trails, a big playground for the kids, an old governer's mansion and a museum dedicated to the Pillsbury Dough Boys.  They have music festivals and holliday celebrations there every year.

Winnsboro is also minutes away.  It's also worth visiting, with lots of shops and really good restaurants.  They've preserved the old buildings from their "saloon town" era and turned them into bakerys, steak houses, drug stores and quaint shops of all kinds.

If you're an antique lover, you could spend a year just shopping the shops in Mineola, Winnsboro, Jefferson and Henderson.

Mineola has the Select Theater, one of the oldest "running" theaters in Texas. It looks like it just stepped out of the fifties. On weekends, they play one of the latest movies in this little original theatre!  They also have live productions there from time to time!

There are several interesting museums in East Texas also.

If you like rodeos, check out Grand Saline, Mineola and Lindale.

The East Texas scenery is just gorgeous.  Just a short ride takes you into the  East Texas hills. . .with hundreds of miles of beautiful huge pine and hardwood forests.  

Mineola Nature Preserve is great.  Looking out over the hills at the preserve, you could believe that you're in the Tennessee mountains.  It's a great place for the whole family, with a huge covered pavillion and nature and hiking trails that go on forever!  There is all kind of wildlife there.  It's right beside the Sabine River and there are two ponds on the preserve.  Deer, squirrel, rabbits and lots of other wildlife live there and you could even spot an occasional alligator along with all kinds of birds and water fowl.  There is a herd of buffalo right next door.  It's a new adventure everytime you hike there.

There's a Gator Farm located in Grand Saline.  It's a new attraction that just opened up last year. 

If you've never driven through East Texas when the Sweet Gum Trees and huge Oaks have "turned" gold and red in the Fall or seen the Dogwoods floating under the giant Oaks and Pines in the spring,then you're in for a treat.  The current economy makes a wonderful "staycation" in East Texas very practical, and you won't run out of fun and exciting things to do.
