Canton

Canton is a small city and the county seat of Van Zandt County, located in east Texas. It can be found about 60 miles east of Dallas, roughly an hour’s drive away. There are several top-rated attractions in town, so there’s rarely a dull moment! Keen golfers should head out on the green at Twin Lakes Golf Course or Van Zandt Country Club, both of which have an excellent reputation. Family vacations are a snap with Splash Kingdom Water Park just a few minutes from the city center - fun for all ages! However, Canton is best known for its First Monday Trade Days, which claims to be the oldest and largest flea market in the United States. There are also a few antique stores dotted around town.
