You must be a true fan of the Ewings, or maybe you just have a hankering to see a piece of Texas telly history. Whatever the reason, moseying on over to Southfork Ranch from Dallas ain't exactly wrangling wild mustangs, but it sure as shootin' requires a plan.

| How To Get To Southfork Ranch From Dallas |
Giddy Up in Your Own Carriage (Car)
Let's face it, the open road and a bit of Patsy Cline on the radio sounds mighty tempting. If you've got your own set of wheels, then this here's the simplest way to get to Southfork. It's a straight shot down the highway, taking about 30 minutes depending on how heavy your foot is (and how many tempting roadside kolaches you gotta stop for).
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Navigational Chuck Wagon Wisdom:
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
- I-345 North is your main ride, but there's a couple of other routes you can take depending on your fancy and traffic. Just be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Parker Road Exit.
- Pro Tip: Don't forget your cowboy hat and shades for that cinematic ranch entrance.
Hitching a Ride: Sharing is Caring (or Not)
Maybe you're feeling social (or your car's on the fritz). Fear not, there are a couple of options to get you to Southfork without saddling up a horse.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
The Public Transport Tango
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.

Now, hold onto your Stetsons, partners, because public transport to Southfork ain't exactly a common sight. You'll likely need to do some fancy footwork, which might involve a combo of:
- DART Tram: This zippy little fella can get you part of the way, but you'll probably need to hail a taxi from the nearest station (Plano or Parker Road) to complete the journey.
- Bus: There might be a magical bus route out there, but you might have to do some serious digging on the DART website. Be prepared for an adventure (and maybe pack some snacks).
The Taxi Two-Step
If you're feeling flush and don't fancy the public transport tango, then grabbing a taxi is the easiest way to go. Just be prepared for the meter to tick up a bit faster than a rattlesnake in a heatwave.
The Grand Entrance: Whichever way you choose, you'll be strolling through those iconic Southfork Ranch gates in no time. Just remember to brush up on your "J.R." Ewing impression and channel your inner ranch hand.
Bonus Tip: If you see a grumpy-looking fella in a Stetson yelling about "Who shot J.R.?", well, that might just be part of the Southfork experience. Just mosey on by with a friendly "Howdy!"
