I stopped by the East Texas Arboretum on my way back to Dallas from a getaway to Nacogdoches. It…read morewas really lovely! The cultivated garden part of the arboretum is fairly small: there are a couple of nice flower gardens, but it's not as extensive as (for example) the Dallas arboretum. There were lots of butterflies in the garden when we visited. There are a couple of historical buildings, including a large one (which we didn't go inside of). Be sure to check out the honey bee hive; it's glassed in, and you can see the bees doing their work. But what this place has that most arboretums don't is a really cool walking trail: you can walk for a couple of miles (there are two one-mile loops) through a shaded, woody trail consisting of two loops, which make for longer or shorter walks. There are benches along the way for those who need to rest, and the trails are well marked. It's a lot "wilder" and more natural than most arboretums I've been to - you're on a trail in the woods, rather than a big garden in a city - which I really loved. There's a cool suspension bridge in between the two trail loops. The bridge was partially paid for by BP, presumably as penance for the fact that there's an oil pipeline running under it through the woods (ugh). Admission is $4 for adults and parking is free. There are restrooms at the entrance and near the cultivated gardens/historical buildings. It's a really great place to stop and stretch your legs while driving through!

Went to check it out and get some exercise. Even though it is winter and things weren't in bloom…read moreyou can tell the beauty in the paths and design. It was very clean, well marked and has something for all. It has hiking, history, bridges and tons if photo ops. The person in the office was cheerful and knowledgeable. The memorial to veterans is beautiful. Take s ride and do something different. It does cost bit plenty of discounts if you qualify. January 1st prices will go up. Be careful of the roots on trails. Wear good shoes that support your ankles. Not all the paths are full of roots. Take your time be mindful and be careful. Worth it. It has handicap paths too.

Lots of smaller aquariums showcasing various native fish. Ride the tram and take the short walk back on the "wetlands trail" (not wet) and enjoy the birds and the scenery.

I've also come to Cain Center in the past for the Yoga Fusion class (led by Lee Middlebrooks), & the shallow water aerobics (led by Tamara & Keith Bennett). I usually liked to stay in the pool after the organized aerobics class so that I can swim some laps. I kinda wish there were more classes available at various other times throughout the day, & not just in the morning.

This is a great place to rent a kayak and go into the water only a few steps (literally) away…read more Kayak rental is open to anyone, it is not limited to customers with an RV site rental. They have a good assortment of kayaks available. We do not own our own kayaks or have a truck, so this gives us more freedom to enjoy nature from the water. The owner is very friendly and helpful. This will be a business we return to again and again!

I came out here to watch a (TVCC--Trinity Valley Community College) Lady Cardinals softball game…read morethat actually got rescheduled. But the field looked nice & so did the stands (some covered & shaded, some open--bring a hat or umbrella for those hotter or rainier days!). There are restrooms with multiple stalls nearby, which are OK for public restrooms at a softball/baseball complex. The concession stand also accepts credit/debit cards, which is good for the 21st Century, since less & less people carry cash these days. I wouldn't mind going to a future game here.
