This book describes the best places in Texas to visit with your four-footed friend. It covers nearly 500 parks and hundreds of dog-friendly motels, restaurants, and events. There's also a section on doggy dos and don'ts, travel tips, and hints on rooming with Rover. Author Larry D. Hodge and his canine assistants, Sport and Samantha, traveled 25,000 miles to seek out the best places to hie to with your hound. Each park is rated on a one- to four-paw scale, and complete descriptions are included for things to do in the park. Campgrounds are also described in detail. The thing that sets this book apart is that each park in the book was personally visited by the author, so if it's in the book, you know it is a fun, safe place to take your dog. 
The book is organized around nine major cities and covers counties within about a two-hour drive.

Getting out into the great outdoors is now even easier than before! More than one million acres, virtually unknown and untapped, are available for a wide variety of activities. With 97 percent of Texas lands in the hands of private ownership, the state's 51 wildlife management areas provide unique opportunities for those who want to get close to nature.
This book gives detailed descriptions of each area, including locator maps, history, recreational activities, available facilities (including wheelchair accessibility), wildlife, habitat, and contact information. It also includes expert advice from wildlife biologists on hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing for each diverse area, as well as tips for some of the best birding, camping, hiking, biking, and horseback riding to be found in the great outdoors. Like its companion book, The Official Guide to Texas State Parks, the WMAs are grouped into seven geographic regions—Big Bend Country, Gulf Coast, Hill Country, Panhandle Plains, Pineywoods, Prairies and Lakes, and the South Texas Plains. Beautiful photographs and user-friendly information make this book a must for long-time nature lovers and novice explorers alike.
