TxDOT KNOX COUNTY SAFETY REST AREA
Location: US Hwy 82, East of Benjamin, Texas
Owner: U.S. General Services Administration
TxDOT’s Knox County Safety Rest Area lies midway between Dallas and Amarillo in a rich agricultural region of the state marked by rolling hills and expansive vistas. The rest area sits at the crest of a ridge overlooking a tributary of the Red River to the north. Like much of Texas, the story here is the land itself - both its beauty and its productive resources. The soil is a rich terracotta red, signaling the river’s name and contrasting and interweaving with the rich green of native landscape and farm fields.
