May 11 - TPWD Trail Workday

 

Saturday, May 11 8:30 am to 2:00 pm - Buescher State Park, Smithville

The Texas Parks and WIldlife Department have an exciting new trail expansion project underway in beautiful Buescher State Park. The project is fortunate to have a Texas Conservation Crew at the park for the past 10 days focusing on trail work.  Due to their efforts, approximately 75 % of the new trail construction has been completed!  They completed a huge portion of this project and we are much closer to having the trail renovation project completed.

What is going on at Walnut Creek?!

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.   Henry Ford

Recently there has been much discussion in mountain bike circles regarding anticipated construction of the North Walnut Creek Trail Project. This project dates back to 2002 and has, for a variety of reasons, gone through periods of activity and inactivity. The presence of survey crews, construction equipment and flagging indicates that the project is again underway.
