A food truck only 10 mins away from the Cove. Don't be fooled by their location; their burgers are amazing and french fries are probably the best I've ever tasted anywhere. They also offer a variety of food including hot dogs and fried catfish. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I recommend calling in ahead of times for pick ups, but they have an outside eating area too.

The largest park in the Highland Lakes where you can hike around and across the rolling hills. It looks really beautiful. Apparently no dogs are allowed as the visitor must stay on the marked trails. We actually never been there, and it's high on our list to visit. I'll update once we check it out!
