Glen Rose

Glen Rose (Glenrose, as many people know it) is a city in and county seat of Somervell County, Texas, an hour away from the bustling metropolis of Fort Worth. This area is full of gorgeous natural areas and bodies of water like Brazos River, Lake Granbury, and Wheeler Branch Reservoir. There is a park beside the reservoir, Wheeler Branch Park, which has plenty of picnic areas as well as fun water activities such as kayaking and fishing. Dinosaur Valley State Park is also just a short drive away, where you’ll find fossilized dinosaur footprints along the river, two life-size dinosaur models, and 1,500 acres of scenic parkland. Forest Rim Wildlife Center is just a stone’s throw away, where you can drive through 1,700 acres of land and view animals such as giraffes, antelopes, and deer.
