Central Texas at a Glance
Central Texas is located west of Houston,
east of Austin and south of the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Defined by prairies and lakes, the environment of Central Texas offers vistas
and activities unique to this area. Museums and other cultural venues present
visitors with opportunities for learning about Brazos County and the rich heritage
that helped to form present-day Texas. Waco is the largest town in the area and
features the Cameron
Park Zoo, an animal facility with a variety of flora and fauna from around
the world. Flea markets are a part of the local lifestyle, with shoppers able
to browse the seemingly endless tables and booths in search of bargains. Bastrop
State Park is also located in Central Texas, offering camp sites, picnic spots
and other visitor services. Another major draw to the area is the city of College
Station, home to Texas
A&M University.
