Nostalgia Tour White Rock Lake Park in the 1950s [Tour Index]
[Begin the Tour ->
One of the reasons I love the lake is because I spent some of the happiest days of my childhood there. Although it is admittedly a little self-indulgent, I invite you to join me on a "Nostalgia Tour" of White Rock Lake Park as I remember it in the 1950s. Perhaps it will bring back some happy memories for you too!

Contemporary Tour White Rock Lake Park Today [Tour Index]
[Begin the Tour ->
Welcome to my contemporary tour of Scenic White Rock Lake Park. Here, without the need to leave the comfort of your home or office, you can visit several of the park's points of interest, seeing what they look like and learning a little about them at the same time.
If you live in the Dallas area or plan to visit, you may have a chance to see the park for yourself someday. No matter how appealing a photograph might be, nothing beats an actual visit, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of this urban oasis in "real time."
For this tour, we will begin at the southeast corner of the park and work our way north along the eastern shore up to Flag Pole Hill, then south along the western shore. For your convenience, I have included links to Yahoo Maps and Directions, wherever possible.
Need a speaker for your organization's next meeting? I am an experienced public speaker who would be happy to present a program to your group about the history of White Rock Lake Park or some other topic. I am willing to consider any reasonable honorarium. Click here for more information.
