This is an almost totally unknown trail located in Wildwood Park on Cypress Creek. Its two trails actually the first is an unmaintained trail along the creek hugging some bluffs and highlighting in an interesting cistern and spring. The trail ends in a broken metal bridge apparently at one time the trail continued further along. The opposite side trail is a paved nature trail again with some wonderful views of Cypress Creek.Show more

Hike through a rapidly disappearing habitat in the Southeast: grasslands. Mostly open hiking down closed gravel roads and access roads for hunters in the winter/early spring. This does not yield the ideal hiking trail; however, hiking amongst so many song birds and butterflies is great. Hearing the bobwhite quails calling in the grasslands is worth the trip alone, but the milkweed, black-eyed susans, and sunflowers blooming are pretty to see as well.Show more

Short loop accessible via the east side of Wildwood Park. Turn left upon entering the park and drive over the small stream. The trail is visible from the end of the parking lot. The trail starts off fairly easy but increases in difficulty further in. The west side of the trail runs along the top of small creek side bluffs. There is an out-and-back branch that'll take you down below the bluffs where there's interesting rock formations and an old running cistern (not sure if potable). The portion of the trail along the bluffs has some dangerously narrow spots covered in leaves. Be cautious of metal stakes in areas where there are old wooden stairs.Show more
