You can walk on raised structures or hike along the Trinity River at this beautiful retreat. The trails were clearly marked and well maintained and although we were warned about the possibility of snakes, we didn't see any although we saw and heard lots of birds. Best to get there early or in the afternoon because it was hot on the June afternoon we visited. I would also bring some insect spray since the many water areas attracted mosquitoes. Parking was free but there was an admission charge.
We decided to return during the winter and it was easier to see some of the birds because the trees had lost their leaves. Water levels were way lower and no flowering plants. Maybe the next trip shall be in spring.
