Let's face it, even city natives need to reconnect with nature occasionally. Watching the sun set anywhere from the east or north banks of White Rock is beautiful but, for a truly spectacular sight, we recommend the picnic tables by the Bath House Cultural Center on the north bank.
Ancient oaks shade the tables and provide a perfect frame for the sunset.
From this spot, you can see downtown Dallas to the south with the sun glinting off the high rises. Or you can tune that out and focus on nature. Just before the sun sets, owls start hooting, and a variety of birds' songs can be heard. As the sun sinks lower, it makes a golden trail on the lapping water. Finally, it disappears in that glorious riot of color laying down behind a thick green pillow of tree tops.
