Vast trail network with biking trails ranging from green to double-diamond, plenty of great views along the Brazos. I would recommend parking near the playground/bridge or baseball area since usually other spots down the river are full. Be sure to checkout the inner areas, such as the hidden bamboo forest, and beware that even the diamond trails can be challenging for some mountain bikers.

Beautiful! Not very crowded. It looks like their Frisbee course is cool because they had tons of players. My Mom can't walk far with her bum leg so we loved that you can see so much beauty from the car. We did walk a bit. I loved the animal statues, the amazing views, and the beautiful river.
