| Mount
Pleasant is conveniently situated at the crossroads
of I-30 and US 271. Mount Pleasant, named
in 1992 and 1995 as one of the 100 Best Small
Towns in America and a Texas Main Street City,
is less than two hours east of Dallas and
less than one hour west of Texarkana.
More
than 17,000 acres of fishing, swimming, and
lots of fun are available on four lakes within
20 minutes. With its moderate climate, the
area offers year-round recreational opportunities.
In the spring, wild flowers create a colorful
countryside, while the summer offers water
recreation and fishing. In the fall, Mother
Nature again takes over, providing many hours
of pleasure, courtesy of the fall foliage.
Winter means hot water bass fishing and Christmas
magic. Throughout the year, visitors browse
and shop at the antique, crafts, and specialty
stores, then enjoy a meal at one of the many
dining establishments. The selection available
is sure to please the taste buds and delight
the pocketbook! Visitors spending the night
can select from several nationally known quality
motels. One visit and you will know why Mount
Pleasant is a place for all seasons for all
the right reasons.
