Things to Do in
Canton

Canton has more going on than you might think. Here's what's worth your time.

• Wander First Monday Trade Days — hundreds of acres of vendors selling everything from handmade furniture to cast iron to vintage clothes
• Walk the Van Zandt County Courthouse square and browse the local shops around it
• Catch a Canton Eagles football game on a fall Friday night — the whole town turns out
• Drive the back roads of Van Zandt County in spring when the wildflowers are ridiculous
• Fish or boat on Lake Tawakoni, about 25 minutes north of town
• Hit up Mill Creek Ranch Resort for a round of golf or a weekend stay
• Explore the historic downtown buildings around the square — some date back to the late 1800s
• Make a day trip to Lake Fork, one of the best bass fishing lakes in the state
