This park truly feels like once in a lifetime experience! I…read moredon't hike often, however, felt this was a worthwhile trip. We decided to head there in the morning. It was about an hour drive from Fort Worth, and it's eight dollars per person to enter the park. Your access gives you the ability to visit all national parks for the period in which you bought your ticket so 24 hours total. There's various trials you can do, we ultimately ended up doing two, and the moderate one is quite difficult due to the terrain. However, the overlook was a straightforward trail with a beautiful view at the end. I would say the times a lot to each trail are accurate, you wanna ensure you get there early because it does get hot in mind you it is Texas in the summertime. We packed lots of snacks, and had our water. We also took some time to dip our feet in and look at the Dino tracks up close. There's so many ways you can spend your day here, however, some quick exercise, and beautiful views definitely doesn't go wrong! You also get the opportunity to learn lots, and we took the time to take all the knowledge we could by reading through the exhibit in the welcome center. (:

Park employees were friendly and very helpful. They explained the new covid rules to us and allowed us to enter without a reservation. But after witnessing how active the hiking paths were, I can see how they could reach capacity quickly. It wasn't overcrowded by anyone's standards, just more active than I have ever seen this park to be. Rented a kayak (with life jacket & vest) for two (2) hours = approx. $32. And they were pretty lenient on the time by rounding up in the hour. If you have any issue with the an old school over the neck/strap around the back/single buckle in front, orange life vest (hope that paints a clear enough picture), then bring your own. All of the equipment was well maintained and clean, including the bathroom facilities.

The only drawback is I had to rent a campsite for the day in order to get a fire blazing. Kind of sucked since I wasn't planning on spending the night. Oh well! It was all still worth it as I supported nature and TPWD. The hiking trails were challenging and invigorating. Thankfully they were also very clearly marked. They were a challenge with all the natural rock and rock cliffs. Penitentiary Hollow was the main attraction of the hike. Wow, Lake Mineral Wells rocks with awesomeness! Please camp here!

It is a multi-use sidewalk, so you do have to watch for bikes, and hope they are watching for you. There are several things to see a long the way, most notably a skate park ( https://www.granbury.org/749/Granbury-Skate-Park ), a Frisbee golf course ( https://www.granbury.org/746/Disc-Golf-Course ), a dog park ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/granbury-bark-park-granbury ), a play area for children, and a memorial for Granbury's military and first responders ( https://www.granbury.org/931/Memorial-Lane-Jim-Burks-Firefighters-Mem ). It's not very long "hike", but does make for a nice walk. Especially if you just had a big meal on the square. The water features in Shanley Park ( https://www.granbury.org/740/Shanley-Park ) are especially nice. Bottom line: If you've got some "time", do check it out. PS. Next time I do, I'll add to the pictures. Had no idea there was a Yelp! page.

This walking and bike trail is no different because you can easily take a stroll and see the lake or turn this into a very serious exercise trail to burn up the miles both on foot or bike. I walked the majority of this and was shocked at how long these trails actually are and how nice and well-maintained they are.

It's so nice to be surrounded by nature and to see such great views. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and maybe bring a hiking stick if you have an issue with balance, since there are lots of uneven paths and steps. Overall, it was a really nice park and we walked the entire area. Will definitely visit again!

Angela Bright was the Ranger for the more challenging hike versus the other more moderate hike. There was a story-telling hike afterwards, but I ran out of steam. The pace of the hike was fairly easy-going; however, there plenty of ups and downs on the hiking path. On my way out to go home, I shopped at the park store. If you live in the area, please become a patron of this particular park.

There are six public parks located within the forty miles of shoreline. Each one offers something different, like picnic areas, camping, boating, fishing, and swimming. This was our last stop for our 2022 Challenge! We went out for a Christmas Day hike after all the festivities and decided to explore the Benbrook Lake Horse and Nature Trails near Whiskey Flats. We saw the remnants of several old stone buildings, including a huge double chimney. Bald Eagles are known to nest in this area, but we didn't spot any this time.. We will definitely go back and explore more of that area.
