Beautiful Trails!

I went on a hot day but the trees surrounding the trails made the experience beautiful! We saw a turkey too!

Great place for birds

Interesting park. Used to be a full RV campground but has limited camping to hike-in primitive only. Bathrooms are about .3 miles away. Busy season is November-February when birds are easy to spot and winter Texans are in. Fun place to hike and check out what is in the bird blinds.
