Confirmed from McKamy Spring Park'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.
What runners say about McKamy Spring Park
“Love shade it beautiful park to run around more landscaping with good playground and parking.”
“McKamy Springs is a great spot to bring the family, enjoy some shade or visit a piece of history.”
“Not crowded my only complaint was the creek was not maintained kind of dirty and gross.”
This is a peaceful little park with a nice walking path. It is off the beaten path, in the middle of an apartment complex. In the center is a historic spring feeding the creek at the back. It has some beautiful old trees and picturesque landscaping. There is a colorful playground for kids.
Plenty of shade. Nice little stream from spring. Historical marker on Texas history.
It's a really nice park. It's a good place to take a casual walk. The majority of the park is shaded. There is a walking trail around the park that's worth taking a walk around. The greenery at the park is really pretty. There is a kids playground and there is a pool next to the park.
McKamy Springs is a great spot to bring the family, enjoy some shade or visit a piece of history. If you stop I recommend visiting the McKamy Spring site. This immediate area actually has a vibrant history. See the McKamy Springs Reviews.
