    • The Checkerboard has had a reputation for good food for a long time. In case your are unfamiliar with the place, a couple pictures may help. As you head out the Memorial Highway toward Dallas turn right onto Carverton Road at Trucksville. A couple miles down the road you will see the Checkerboard on the right.
    Pavillion

    The Checkerboard has become popular for picnics with its modern pavilion. You can see the side of the services building behind the restaurant on the picture above. There is lots of parking in the lower lot and a few steps brings you to the covered picnic area. I'm not sure how many will bring young children (grandchildren?) but there's a nice carousel for them on the far side of the shed.

    They also have the following activities although I'm not sure how many of us are up to the Volleyball and Basketball in the August heat.

  • Game Room
