Nice low-key, family-friendly fun run, organized by the park staff, with prizes for the raffle and 1st through 3rd place finishers donated by local businesses, including frozen turkeys!! Doesn't get better than that! GOBBLE-GOBBLE. The price for entry was the standard day use fee, $3/person. You won't find a cheaper Turkey Trot. They had ample water, snacks, and a DJ blasting tunes. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are clean. The information available inside HQ for other Texas State Parks and history is cool. There's some fun trinkets and souvenirs you can purchase too to help support the park's operations, plus drinks and snacks if you need. The trails have some decent terrain, certainly nothing too steep or strenuous thought (typical TX hill country landscape). The park also has a golf course and a swimming pool, though I've not experienced them myself. Parking lots are in good repair. They always have the month's extracurricular events posted up too, so you can decide if you want to take an informational nature hike or learn archery, etc.

I can't say I recommend Lockhart State Park from my last visit here. Even though it's the only…read moreTexas state park with a 9-hole golf course, the hiking trails weren't very interesting and I was concerned about getting hit by golf balls as one of the trails cuts right through the fairway. The trail system here seemed almost like an afterthought, as there weren't any scenic viewpoints to look forward to. There were large shrubs everywhere and nothing interesting around. They say to my have a fishing pond, but it was small and it looked like it was devoid of any life. I thought the CCC group area and the day-use areas were cool. I can see locals taking advantage of the amenities. But for me, hiking trails are the biggest draw and unfortunately I left disappointed.

The walking paths are well-maintained and connect directly to the Plum Creek Trail, making it perfect for a morning run or a long walk. The lake itself is beautiful--it's a great spot for catch-and-release fishing--and they have a nice playground and covered pavilion if you're bringing the family. They even installed an outdoor fitness court if you want to get a quick workout in!

The terrain is flat and the views are the houses on the hill to the north and west. At the end of the trail, it leads to the catch and release fishing dock. There's a huge round yellow picnic table. This park is great for sunrise views, meditation and yoga in the park. The trail is less than a mile long. I would have liked it more if there were nature trails and longer paths to walk on. I think they use this park for community events. The air is crisp and fresh. It smells like sweet grass cornbread. No pollution.

Upon driving, I was a bit confused with the lack of parking lot, but luckily there was a shared lot across the street. Absolutely beautiful! I instantly fell in love with this park. I've never been to a place that is dedicated to first responders. I'm happy to know that someone engineered this because those professions are often overlooked and are less paid. The bridge with constant flow of water reminded me of a park in Friendswood, TX (Heritage Park). It's so tranquil and relaxing walking around seeing all the plants in healthy conditions. The trails are easy to maneuver and are smooth. There are some parts that are interactive for children and adults to explore which is cool. Even have plenty of seating throughout the park to sit and enjoy the landscape. I even sparked a conversation with an engineer who was admiring the engineering/construction of the railings. I think this has been added to my second favorite parks and when I'm in the area, I'll frequent it more!

I did the mountain biking on the single track to the right of the parking lot and then all the way down the hiking trail to Lake Kyle and back. It was about 7.8 miles and it took me about an hour. The trail is pretty well marked, but it is easy to get off track. However most of them dead end so you don't go too far before you get back to the main trail. There are a lot of ups and downs as it goes down to the creek and then back up to the main trail, so be prepared. If you are biking, there are climbs that pop up out of nowhere lol. Overall, I've been to this park mountain biking several times and keep coming back. If you live in the area, it's a nice trail system through the woods and along the creek. It is scenic and beautiful. I would recommend it.

Buyer beware this company is a scam. My husband and I booked an RV rental over Memorial Day…read moreweekend. All communication was great prior to our rental and the only red flag was we had not seen many online reviews. But the couple seemed nice and had prompt email responses.. that is until it was time for us to receive our $400 refund. Mind you - our three night rental was about $600 so that extra $400 added to their profit margin significantly. We picked up the RV on May 22nd and returned it the evening of May 26th (we paid an extra night fee for the evening return). Upon picking it up we noticed a couple of things that were not 100% but since they had been pleasant we didn't make a big deal about it. Some food scraps had been overlooked and an ant village had moved in as well as the black water had not been pumped and was at over half full. My husband verified that the black water was half full with the owner but we didn't think it was that big of a deal. Apparently it was because we had to use the camp port-o-potties after the first morning. Also, two fuses were incorrect on the RV and had to make a special trip to replace them. But overall not a huge deal. We returned the RV completely cleaned and vacuumed the evening of the 26th and Sandy Life let me know the refund would take a few days to process. On May 29th, I emailed Sandy Life for initial follow up on deposit refund. Their contract notes the refund must be returned within 14 days of rental. No response. So I texted on June 2nd for follow up and received a text stating the full deposit would be completed June 3rd and allow 5-7 days for processing. On June 16th, I emailed Sandy Life that I had not received the full deposit refund guaranteed on June 2nd. I received an email later that day that their inspector found floor damage and that a door lock was broke and we would only be getting a "partial refund." Please note that their inspector did not come to inspect the RV for over two weeks after we returned it. When my husband and I dropped off the RV we asked Sandy Life to do a walk through at that time and they refused. We returned the RV clean and in full working order with working locks. I emailed Sandy Life explaining this and asking why am I just now finding out about this at 23 days post-rental. I also asked how did I know they did not rent the RV out within that time and are charging me for damages (they had told me prior to rental that the RV was rented the day after our return) or that the RV wasn't broken into at their outside storage area. I also requested photos of the damages and a receipt for the locksmith. I never received a follow up email after this. I emailed again on June 20th stating I would like to resolve this issue and cited they are breaking their own contract time line and also did not rent out the RV as agreed upon (black water half full, blown fuses, ant infestation). I again requested photos and receipts and again, NO RESPONSE. On June 26th, I emailed Sandy Life stating that I would be filing a complaint with the BBB the following Monday and was astonished at their lack of business ethic. Still NO RESPONSE. On June 27th I used my husband's cell phone to call Sandy Life as they had not picked up for my cell number the last 4 times I had called them. And what do you know.. they pick up. I explained who I was and Sandy Life told me they were only giving me half of my deposit ($200) and again refused to provide proof of damages or receipts. I told her I felt totally taken advantage of, that they were scamming my family and that I did not understand WHY they would not provide proof of damages. She got upset at this, said they were not scammers and hung up on me. I'm sorry but given this situation and total lack of communication what would you think? And if they did intend on refunding $200 then why had they not done so yet? At this point it had been 33 days since we returned the RV, not to mention THEIR contract stated the refund would be processed within 14 days! When I tried to call her back about 30 minutes later she had blocked both my husband's and my cell phone numbers. Seriously, that is the customer service they give? Not responding to texts, calls and emails then BLOCKING my number? I have not attempted to call them again as it is obvious I am getting nowhere. Sandy Life emailed me that night stating they would refund the deposit but currently I have only received $100. I replied asking for an ETA of the full refund but what do you know... still haven't heard anything back. What a SURPRISE! So buyer beware- this company doubles their profits by refusing to refund deposits and breaking their own contract. They are SCAMMERS that present like a family business. Very disappointing. I have since filed reports with the BBB, Austin KVUE Defenders investigators, and KXAN Report It. Please message me if you have had similar experiences with Sandy Life as I am tracking this with my attorney.
