HAYSCO PARKS NATURAL AREAS

Blanco Shoals

Blanco Shoals consists of 81 acres west of Blanco River and east of I-35. Blanco Shoals is completely undeveloped riparian with no defined trails. It contains high cliffs and shoals along the river, an outstanding example of he flood mitigation benefits of our natural areas. Gigantic Pecans, tall Cottonwoods, Sycamores, and Anancuas grace the landscape. During summer months giant ragweed and Johnson Grass may overtake the property until mowed. The flat property makes for a comfortable stroll with hawks, woodpeckers, and bluebirds among the species seen at this location.

Prospect Park

Prospect Park (Prospect Street) is the original natural area begun two decades ago as developers began work to clear the land. Several forward-thinking individuals worked with the city council to create parkland of about 9 acres. Prospect Park sits on a rather porous section of the Edwards Aquifer with prominent karst features (rainwater flowing into the ground through limestone rocks). The juniper groves, grassland meadows, ephemeral wetlands and oak mottes co-exist. Benches and interpretive signs are located along the trail. A large compass and opposite, The Leaning Tree, provide seating and education opportunities in the lower meadow.

Purgatory

Trailheads: Upper Purgatory: 1753 Valencia Way / Lower Purgatory: 2102 Hunter Road

Lower Purgatory is the most popular trailhead, fills up quickly on the weekends and late morning. 12+ miles of trail flow uphill to the Valencia Way trailhead. Destination for serious mountain bikers and trialrunners, this trail provides technical difficulty of avoiding rocks and tree roots as the trail is natural surface single-track. Popular trails are Dante, Beatrice, Ovid, and Ripheus. Upper Purgatory is equally popular, but access is from a half-mile of caliche road. Popular trails are Dante, Paraisa, and Malacoda where Purgatory Creek has carved a large grotto in the limestone cliff. An ADA trail was added in 2019 and is accessible via the Upper trail head.

Schulle

Schulle Canyon has 21 acres of natural parkland with Oak, Elm, and Bois d-arc trees. A 1/2 mile, six foot wide accessible trail of crushed limestone forms the Viginia Witte Way trail. The natural area is listed as the Heart of Texas East #61 wildlife trail. Birds viewed here include Kinglets, Thrushes, Wrens, Chickadees, and Cardinals. This is a great site for the beginner birder or person of limited mobility.

Ringtail

Ringtail Ridge is located on a caliche road (1818 Old Ranch Road 12) between Dakota Ranch Apartments and Crestwood U-Haul with an additional pedestrian and biking trailhead between Community Baptist Church and Dakota Ranch Apartments. This natural area is made up of 45 acres with a 1/2 mile Tex’s Trail, a caliche trail circling three wet-weather ponds and an additional 2 1/2 mile single track trail offering a beginner mountain bike experience. The Stock ponds offer opportunity for birding and bug walks not easily found on the drier Purgatory Creek Natural Area. The natural area is the former site of the Hughson Meat Packing Company founded in 1947 by Cecil “Pop” Hughson and his brother, Johnny Hughson.

Sessom Creek

Sessom Creek Park is a 14 acre park bounded by Chestnust Street, Sessom Drive, Loquat Street and Canyon Road. Two trails traverse the park in different ways. One rambles through the wooded space from the crossing of Sessom Creek at Canyon Road to Chestnut Street, above the Ella Lofts. The second provides a transportation option for pedestrians walking along Chestnut Street walking to and from the Texas State campus area. The park is open but undergoing invasive plant removal and restoration.

Spring Lake

Spring Lake consists of 251 acres of undeveloped parkland that sits just above the headwaters of the San Marcos River. About half of the property is in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge zone, and all of the property is in the Sink Creek watershed. San Marcos Springs and Spring Lake are rare ecological jewels among Texas water resources and support five endangered species. The area supported ranching and hunting for many years, but has recently been left largely undisturbed with the exception of some natural-surface trails. Spring Lake Natural Area contains the typical meadows and woodlands found in Edwards Plateau, with a wide variety of flora and fauna, including Mexican buckeye and large mammals. The geology includes layers of the Eagle-Ford, Georgetown, Del Rio clay, and Edwards limestone.

Spring Lake natural Area is one of the prettiest areas with majestic Live Oaks draped in Spanish moss, flowering Mountain Laurel (two weeks in March), flowering Kidneywood (April), and many other butterfly attractors. The meadow along Blue Stem in the Spring has an assortment of wildflowers and its namesake, Blue Stem Grasses, a Texas native. More than six miles of trails traverse the 251 acres with elevation changes from the hillside down to the meadow.

Certain hillside trails are closed March through May for the Golden Cheek Warbler nesting season as posted at the trail heads and on signs within the natural areas. Please respect this restriction as we acquired the property with this stipulation. More than half the property is open year round.

HAYSCO PARKS NATURAL AREAS

Dripping Springs and Driftwood Area

Perdernales Falls

Perdernales Falls State Park is known far horizontal style waterfalls, flowing throughout smooth huge slabs of limestone. The blue waters alternate between wide and calm pools of cool, clear water to turbulent rapids cascading through narrow rock channels. Relax, cool off in the river during the heat of the summer.

One of the largest state parks in Texas, encompassing 5,000 acres, includes miles of riverfront and 40+ miles of hiking, biking and horse trails. Hiking trails hold the hidden gems of the park. The Twin Falls Trail has a smaller double waterfall. Wall Mountain Trail includes multiple creek crossings - many trails are heavily canopied providing cooling shade in summer.

Located a few miles west of Dripping Springs. The park often reaches capacity. Camping and RV use is allowed. Reservations are recommended.

Westcave Preserve

Hamilton Pool Reserve

Westcave is a box canyon grotto covered in native ferns. Water drips over the elevated, concave wall into Heinz Branch creek.

“It creates an emerald green pool, which is 20 feet deep,” Gosselin said. “Along the hike, there are big boulders that collapsed down along the way when the canyon was formed. When we get to the grotto, we walk behind the waterfall first, and you can see the sunlight catch the water and then we go up into the cave.”

Westcave is a nature preserve, which means there are more restrictions to protect the land and features. A guided tour is required to hike into the grotto, which, for the most part, is only offered on weekends. Reservations are necessary and can be booked online.

There is also butterfly gardens under the Ahrns Grove, and there is a mile and a half of self-guided hiking trails with benches along the way. It is an exploration on your own at your own pace.

Known since the time of Native Americans, the preserve has an overhang that is a stunning backdrop for a beautiful waterfall. Just minutes north of Dripping Springs, the park is begging to be explored and enjoyed.

Swimming is currently limited to the area accessible from the beach, due to safety concerns with falling rocks from the cliff. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of areas to hike and see the incredible natural beauty of Hamilton Pool. The limestone cliffs, the cave and the beauty that surrounds it are well worth the price of admission.

Picnicking and hiking are just a few of the pleasures the park has to offer in its 232 acres. The waterfalls and the confluence with the Pedernales River is a must see. Hamilton Pool is also a nature preserve with a mission to provide habitat for wildlife. There is diverse vegetation throughout the park, which serves as a home to the endangered golden-cheeked warbler and a variety of other birds.

Reimers Ranch Park

Milton Reimers Ranch Park is about 2,400 acres of mostly undeveloped land with more than 18 miles of trails through the scenic landscape. It has largely been kept the same as it was when Travis County purchased the ranch from its namesake, Milton Reimer.

“The Pedernales River, like most of Reimers, is kept in a primitive state,” Brewster says. “Once you get down to that location there is a nice sandy beach, and if you go walking along the river you’ll be walking through a sort of canyon. You’ll see the hills on either side.”

Beyond the swimming and hiking trails, there are many other popular uses for Reimers Ranch such as rock climbing, fishing, mountain biking and horseback riding. Astronomical programs have recently been added to enjoy the beautiful dark skies of Central Texas at the Reimers Ranch Observatory.

Cypress Creek

Wimberley Area

The Cypress Creek Nature Trail is 7.24 acres of natural beauty that starts just steps from the busy Wimberley Square. At the head of the trail, just a few steps down Old Kyle Road, is the Martha Knies Community Park, which was named after the Keep Wimberley Beautiful founder. The park features a covered picnic pavilion, restrooms, a fountain and, best of all, a children’s playground. From there, the trail leads from the Wimberley Square along the banks of Cypress Creek until it reaches Blue Hole Regional Park where the trail continues on.

This complex, which is adjacent to the Wimberley Square, was designed to be a landing space for visitors and locals. Oak Park, designed and maintained by Wimberley’s Parks & Recreation Department, is a community gathering space that features high-quality artificial turf and includes bistrostyle seating and several outdoor games. Meanwhile, the space offers free parking and bathrooms to the downtown area, in addition to a directory with a map and lists of names and locations of businesses, parks and points of interest. The map also includes locations of Wimberley’s noted art boot “Bootiful” project, sponsored by WVACA.

There are anywhere from 218 to 222 steps up the side of Old Baldy. Nobody is quite sure how many, because you’re too lightheaded to remember once you’ve climbed to the top. Still, the climb is worth the effort with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Wimberley Valley and the Texas Hill Country waiting at the top. The city park is only about 2.5 miles from the Wimberley Square. Parking is very limited, so be nice to the neighborhood surrounding Old Baldy.

Blue Hole

Blue Hole Regional Park is located off of Old Kyle Road a few blocks from the Wimberley Square. The city, along with many local private and governmental contributions, saved the park from creeping development. Beyond the iconic swimming hole, it includes 3.5 miles of trails, picnic areas, a community pavilion, playscape, basketball court, sand volleyball court and an amphitheater.

Towering cypress trees overhang the banks of the chilly natural spring-fed Cypress Creek to create the perfect place to beat the heat. Reservations are required to swim.

Widely considered to be an ecological wonder. Part of a recharge zone, Jacobs Well is at the center of a natural artesian spring which forms the headwaters of Cypress Creek. Underground springs replenish the “well” — whose temperature is always 68 degrees year-round. The depth and allure of the well have drawn swimmers for centuries, with the rock outcroppings around the well making for the perfect place to relax and warm up in the sun. While swimming traditionally ends in September at the park, the park trails and other natural features are open year-round.

The Patsy Glenn Refuge, located at the end of the Wimberley Community Center’s parking lot, was established as a 1.8-acre haven for local and migrating birds, wildlife, insects and native plants of the Wimberley area. A small rural town like Wimberley is lucky to be a part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife designated “Wimberley Loop,” which draws bird watchers to the trail that also consists of Blue Hole, the Red Corral Ranch, Jacob’s Well, Charro Ranch Park and Blanco State Park.
