德州：州立公園

德州依地形生態環境，可分為七個區域，德州122個州立公園也因區域不同而各有特色。

Texas Regions
  1. The Panhandle Plains
    有人說德州的形狀像個平底鍋，那麼德州北部平原區就是鍋柄了，這兒也以放牧牛羊而著名。鍋柄平原區有的就是一望無際的藍天、霞光萬丈的日落、無限延伸的平原和令人屏息的美景。喜愛冒險的人可以攀爬色彩繽紛的冠岩崖峭壁或是騎馬探索帕羅杜洛峽谷。別忘了逛逛魯柏克市，體會一下牛仔文化和老西部的酒廊、博物館等。

  2. Prairies and Lakes
    德州中北部有著令人心懭神怡的草原及湖泊，達拉斯市和渥斯堡形成的都會區在座落在正中間。

  3. The Piney Woods
    德州東部有著百萬英畝計的繁荿松林及濕地，其間並設立了四個國家森林，可以進行露營、健行、釣魚等休閒活動。想要發思古之幽情的文人雅客，可以探訪許多歐洲移民於1800年建立的城鎮，古蹟保存或複製的相當完整，維多利亞式的建築、老蒸汽火車等等。春季時盛開的木蘭、玫瑰等，令這裡別有一番南國風情。

  4. The Gulf Coast
    墨西哥灣區清涼的海水、沙灘、鹹濕潮間帶、灌木群等，不止是野生動物最好的庇護所，也吸引絡繹不絕的遊客。在綿延600英哩以上的海岸線上，聖餐市、教士島、加維斯頓市等是著名的旅遊城市，而休士頓除了旅遊外，也是文化及商業中心。

  5. Southeast Region
    有些人會問，明明是德州南部，為什麼要加個字，成為德州東南部呢？因為「丘陵之地」稱為德州心臟，這兒就成為德州東南部了。

  6. The Hill Country
    既然稱為「丘陵之地」，顧名思義就知道這兒地形高低起伏，一片丘陵了。而這兒的無數山泉，也成為許多德州河川的源頭。人工的蓄水湖也成為居民休憩的好去處，頭戴牛仔帽、身穿牛仔服、足登牛仔靴，飆船去！

  7. Big Bend Country
    「平闊之地」的面積可能比歐洲幾個小國加起來還要大。19世紀時美國陸軍在此駐守當時的西部前線，而艾帕索市就是最重要的隘口。來到這兒，可以試試在瓜達魯沛山健行、在「大河」泛舟，或是欣賞沙漠風光。
