Hiking Trail Suggestions Near DFW? (Looking for Big Trees, Lush Forests, Preferably a State Park Within 1-2 hour drive)

My friend and I are trying to find a good hiking trail with big trees and lush forests, bonus points if theres good scenic views of a lake (could be a tall ask for dfw nature.) We're trying to find a good spot preferably 1-2 hours away from dfw. I know all the good places are 3+ hours away but we're keeping it close!

So far, we are considering Eisenhower State park and Cedar Ridge Preserve and we've already been to dinosaur valley. Any suggestions for hiking trails in state parks surrounded by big trees? Thanks!
