Your city guide to Rusk!
The official site of the Rusk Chamber of Commerce

 Rusk is a quaint little town nestled within the Piney Woods of East Texas.   While visiting Rusk take a ride on the Texas State Railroad's steam engine train, walk the longest footbridge in the nation, play golf at our local course, visit our two wildlife parks (Grapeland Drive Thru Safari and Cherokee Trace Drive-thru Safari), browse through the  specialty shops, enjoy local dining, or just relax at one of our lodging facilities.  We have three hotels, a number of charming bed & breakfasts and four campgrounds all designed with your family in mind. One of the chamber's newest members is Race Fab, Inc..  They are well known for building the chassis for the NASA Lunar Rover truck.  And for those history buffs, Rusk is known for its 32 historical markers.    Set your cruise control to Rusk for the perfect family weekend! 

Rusk is seated in the heart of East Texas at the intersection of US Highways 69 & 84: 160 miles N of Houston, 110 miles SW of Shreveport, 140 miles SE of Dallas, 225 miles NE of Austin, and 305 miles NE San Antonio.
