Midland Spring Road Trip Destinations

It’s springtime in Texas, the perfect time to hit the road and enjoy a drive with the windows down before the summer heat arrives. There’s no better way to enjoy a road trip than in the luxury of a Lincoln SUV. We have one that’s bound to be right for any size family here at Rogers Lincoln. Here are a few of our favorite places to visit this spring!

McKinney Park Sprayground

Pack in the kids and head to Odessa to visit the McKinney Park Sprayground. Opened in 2008, the park features fun cascading water installations that keep you cool. There are two shade umbrellas, but if you visit in spring, you won’t be competing for space under them, thanks to the cooler temperatures. Best of all, it’s a public park and completely free.

Odessa Meteor Crater

If the family loves sci-fi, why not see some real outer space phenomenon at the Odessa Meteor Crater. The site was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1965 and the existing visitor center was added in 2002. You’ll find meteorites, tektites, and other material pertaining to meteor craters on display.

Big Spring State Park

There’s nothing like spending time under the majesty of the 200-foot bluff at Big Spring State Park. This natural attraction is a leisurely drive to the east, best accomplished in the comfort of a new Lincoln SUV. Once you arrive, you’ll find over 382 acres to explore via hiking, climbing, and biking. Have a picnic at the top of Scenic Mountain and get back to Midland before sunset!

Lake Carlsbad

The gulf coast is a pretty big road trip, but if you’re looking for a great waterfront experience, there’s one a lot closer at Lake Carlsbad. Maybe you’ve already seen the nearby caverns and are looking for a more traditional relaxation experience. Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area is a 125-acre beach park located on the Pecos River with boating, fishing, picnicking, and lots more fun things to do.
