Road Runner, TX

Tucked away in southern Cooke County, Road Runner is a tiny lakeside community that grew out of the quiet Pioneer Valley neighborhood before incorporating in 2017. Life here revolves around the water, sitting right on the shores of Lake Ray Roberts where Persimmon Creek meets the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. Residents enjoy easy access to boat ramps, quiet fishing spots, and Ray Roberts Lake State Park, which offers miles of wooded hiking, biking, and equestrian trails along the Greenbelt. It has the feel of a peaceful rural hideaway, while neighboring towns like Sanger, Aubrey, and Denton keep groceries, dining, and everyday conveniences within an easy drive.
