Small towns in Texas are anything but boring! If you're looking for a day trip that combines nature and local flavor, this East Texas adventure is calling your name.
Start your morning in the Angelina National Forest. You can hike the 4.5-mile Sawmill Trail to see the ruins of an abandoned town or explore the lush, "Emerald City" greenery of the Stephen F. Austin Interpretive Trail. There’s even a swimming hole at Boykin Springs to cool off after your trek!
Once you've worked up an appetite, head over to Alexander Burger Company in Cushing. This roadside gem feels like a step back into the Old West with its frontier façade and vintage decor. Whether you want the spicy "Hey Jack!" burger or a classic sweet tea, it’s the perfect way to cap off a day in the Piney Woods.
