    TURTLEEEEEE!!!!
    Therral L.

    I like this park it's nice well kept and the trails are long. I used to run the really long trail until one day I saw a bobcat and kittens crossing the trail and it scared the crap outta me. I haven't ran it since I do run the shorter wooded trail cause more ppl travel on that one so the animals won't really hang out there. I don't know if the animals on the trail will attack or not and I just can't take that chance so I have to drive all the way to another park or trail to get my long mileage in. Besides the wild animals the more public areas are nice and they have a really cool kids play area too. If I had a kid I would take them there.

    I LOVE this park. There's plenty of trees along the trail which makes it easy to escape the city and appreciate nature. The trails are well maintained and the paved sidewalk is smooth enough to skate on. I cycle and rollerblade here pretty often. Most people are really good at yelling "on your left" when passing. Trust me, you'll appreciate this in areas where you're alone out there and you've seen a bobcat in the distance or have read the sign warning you about wildlife. Yes! There are bobcats. I've just cycled right past them if they're standing on the side, luckily I haven't seen one while rollerblading (I'm afraid of anything with teeth). There's plenty of parking and the bathrooms are really clean. FYI, there isn't hand soap in the bathrooms. While on the trail, you'll see water fountains and and areas to put air in your tires/bicycle maintenance. There's also a good amount of benches throughout the trail to relax if your legs are on fire or your butt needs a break from the seat.

    Mini fairy garden along the trail. Must stop and observe this cute display!

    We love this park. We come every Sunday for a long walk and then let my daughter play on the dinosaur playground. It's very tranquil walking thru the trails along the rivers edge. Someone even started a mini fairy garden and we always have to stop and look at what's been added.

    Rode the EKG loop for the first time. Loved it. It was a great workout, it was challenging and the "flow" was as advertised! Great trail, I will definately ride it again.

    Just got done with about 4 miles on the trail with my girlfriend. It's a nice park, but could use better upkeep and wider trails. There are also more cyclist, skateboarders, runners, and leashed dogs than walkers, so casual walkers must be extra careful.

    Enjoying the scenery

A great space to put a picnic blanket out. And there is a play ground. (I didn't check how good it was but from afar it looked in great shape.) The waters beautiful. You can dock a boat or take your kayaks or pattle boats out, we saw some people do that. And there's great amount of shade. There is also plenty of birds around, which sound beautiful, however just beware, we did get popped on.

There's a small park, picnic tables, lots of shade, ducks roaming and you can go fishing or canoeing in the Lake. The crowd is filled with a mixture of everything. Families grilling, dogs all around, teens hanging, families playing volleyball, people witnessing. Lots of fishing going on. Summer time was definitely alive. The crowd stays all the way til dusk too. Also, they have really nice restrooms! It's a big brick building that has the Men's and Women's Restrooms beside each other. The Women's Rest Room was clean but, a little stuffy. There were two stalls. One was small and a little messy and the other was large without a door? Soap dispenser was filled and hot water was available too! My one suggestion would be, the path should lead to the R.R, instead of having to walk through the grass. The trails were alot smaller than I expected. They we're simple and surrounded the lake. The Park is also secured by the Police. If your family member has not returned from the lake after dusk, for more than forty-five minutes. The police will go looking for them. If your looking for a place for a family outing, I would suggest coming here. It's fun and safe!

Out of the four that piqued my interest, this one was first on the list. Looks like there were other trails branching off from the main one, but I stuck with the main walking path. There were benches and informational signs scattered along the route. All of them worthwhile in reading. Unfortunately, I was saddened by how much litter I found. Irresponsible and narcissistic people. Boooo! The Nature preserve was well worth the time spent and effort to drive out here. Check it out!

The best thing about Arlington is all the trees and hills. North Texas is mostly flat and DFW isn't known for its foliage, but there's quite a few spots in Arlington that really feel "far away." There's true hills and canyons and forests and creeks. You can be in the center of the metroplex and still feel lost in the woods. Crystal Canyon is such a spot. This park is so pretty. I appreciate all the little signs that explain the trail and history of the area. Crystal Canyon gets its name from all the crystals (gypsum) to be found in the vicinity, particularly the creek. There's a few beautiful bridges and benches. The hike is fairly short but super scenic and enjoyable.
