The Eagle Nature Trail at Central Texas College is nice little trail if you’re wanting to connect with nature or just going on a nice relaxing hike. I liked that there shady areas, so we wasn’t in direct sunlight the entire trail. There were a lot of pretty butterflies flying around. I tried to get some pics of them.
Great little trail. About 3mi. I wouldn't recommend running but you can do some running and walking. I went in May and it was freshly trimmed. Lots of wildflowers, diverse vegetation, and diverse terrain. I loved it!
This CTC walking trail is very nice during the spring has lots of flowers and as well laid out. There are signs along it pointing out different items animal burrows, trees, and it has benches.
This was a great little hike that definitely got my heart rate up! It had great shade and nice views. There were also benches throughout the hike if you needed/wanted to stop and rest.
