St Edwards Park Trip
Day hiking St Edwards Park
On June 1st Jack hit me up to do some local day hiking. It's been such a long time since we adventured together I jumped at the chance.

Info: St. Edwards Park offers 6 trails with two considered the main trails. The park is considered a gem inside the city and is spread over 80 acres with a creek, pools, small waterfalls. If you want to bring a pet, they are allowed as well.
Address: 7301 Spicewood Springs Rd., Austin 78759

We made out to the trailhead with no issues and took a look at the area map to decide which trails to explore. After deciding we would do a sampling of green and brown trails we headed out.

As we started off, we quickly met a group just socializing in the middle of a trail intersection with multiple little and unleashed dogs. Thankfully, the girls remained calm and we moved past without incident. Not much

Not sure if this was still the Brown trail or access road, we decided to start back down; however, we spotted a side route and took that instead. This turned out to be an amazing decision. After walking a few steep ups and downs, we found ourselves on a ridge trail with a fabulous view of the surrounding area.

For me, the view made my entire trip and after soaking it in we started our hike back up and towards the trailhead. There were a few more steep inclines and declines on the way out and at least 1 or 2 guesses on which of the spider web like trails was the way out. We just kept searching for the creek in the lowlands and before we knew it, we were back at the trailhead. This is an area I intend to further explore with BeeGee and Angela, but it will have to wait for cooler weather so can see the entire park in a single go.

    Much of the area beyond the shore was surrounded by thick shrubbery and tall trees. From the park entrance, the creek could not even be seen from where we initially began our hike. Essentially, the creek was a hidden gem because the forestry hides it so well. Furthermore, it was not until we walked down a path for several yards that we could even see…

    My pick for this park was based on the fact that this was made in to a natural ecosystem in 1964. A plan was drawn to make this park by making a dam and creating a 500 acre lake in the center of a 4,461 acre land section from the stony creek (a tributary of the Clinton River). Once the dam was formed the lake was made, and the park came together. There are many plants and wildlife in this park, and fish in the lake. This park is a great place to go for any relaxation or for fun. There is a wide selection of things to do which include a full 18 hole golf course and disc golf course.…

    I sat there in disbelief, I couldn’t believe my new teacher was forcing me hike a trail and then write a essay about it. But I had to, so I decided to hike the Indian Hill trail, besides I had heard positive reviews about this trail by my friends. The leaves were just turning hues of gold and yellow, I stepped out of the car and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t freezing cold My mom yelled after me, ‘’Be safe.’’ I ignored her. So I started to hike up the trail it was nice, I usually hiked in the Adirondacks so this was a pleasant change. Hardwoods are different than hiking in the pine forest of the mountains, for one thing on this trail there was only a slight incline where as in the mountains the trails…
