Warm temperatures year-round make Texas the perfect place to live for anyone who loves the outdoors. The only challenge, then, is to find a good spot in nature to spend your extra time. Those living at Orion McCord Park have an obvious answer: Hidden Cove Park and Marina.

Located in nearby Frisco, Hidden Cove Park and Marina promises enough outdoorsy activities to keep you entertained for an entire weekend, let alone an afternoon. Whether you have one hour or 48 hours to spend here, make the most of it. Head to the marina and rent a canoe or kayak and get out on the water. Bring along your fishing rod or swimsuit and fish or swim in the water. Pack a tent and a change of clothes and spend the night beneath the stars at one of Hidden Cove's campsites. There's a lot to do at this outdoor oasis, so expect to find a fun way to spend your day.
