83. We did not camp here - for a multitude of reasons, we've never been able to camp here! This trip we chose to camp at Ray Roberts and use that as a more central basecamp to other places, Eisenhower being one of them. This is a surprisingly big park on the shores of Lake Texhoma. There are numerous campsites, a huge privately owned marina, and a plethora of ATV trails (which were closed when we visited). We hiked a short, but hilly trail near the shore, saw ammonites in the rocks, and gawked at the monstrous boats stored at the marina.
Part of the trail took us to the shore, where we could see just a few of the many boats stored at the marina.

Eisenhower State Park is also really close to Denison and Sherman, so we explored those towns a bit as well. Denison has a brewery, a distillery, lots of antique shops, the old Katy Depot, President Eisenhower's birthplace house, and the home of T.V. Munson, the man who saved the wine industry.
Sherman has 2 breweries, antiques, and is a county seat as well.
