Confirmed from Berry Springs Park & Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Big, tranquil park with campsites, a nearly 3-mile hiking trail, fishing, donkeys & more.

Wonderful park with flat terrain and several paved trails for walking and bicycling. Has several crushed granite paths as well – all are walkable even after the rain. Beautiful grove of pecan trees, small ponds for fishing, fields of wildflowers, native vegetation with interpretive signage.
We loved this quite, green and peaceful park with couple of sweet donkeys in Georgetown with different trails for walking, to enjoy nature and just for relaxing. Far enough from the main road and not crowded at all. Spaceful and clean, plenty of benches, kids playground, picnic tables and numerous parking places.
Saw 2 kinds of herons, a duck and a snake swimming in the lake. The trail around the lake has some beautiful views. Primitive campsites further away look neat, would like to camp there. A long paved trail ends with a nice loop trail going close to the creek.
This park has such a calming effect—it's unbelievable!😄 I ❤️ being here, especially walking on the trails; it helps clear my mind and gives me peace. My favorite parts are the ponds along the walking trail. They're breathtaking on a sunny day. 🤩 I love that it's not too crowded either!
