Join Cindy Chrisler and other NPSOT-Williamson County members for a walk in the meadows of Tejas Park, Lake Georgetown, in search of spring wildflowers. We will assemble in the parking lot at 8:30 a.m. to beat the heat.
While the pace will be leisurely, there may be some steep areas and a creek crossing, depending on the route determined a few days prior to the scheduled hike. Recent rains will enhance the naturally occurring annuals, and trees and shrubs should be resplendent in their new foliage. Participants should wear clothing appropriate for the weather, use bug spray and sunscreen, and bring water. There is a pit toilet at the trail head.
Some meadows at Tejas Park have been seeded with mixes from Native American Seeds, and others have been recently subjected to prescribed burns. This trip will be limited to three hours, but we hope it will encourage you to explore this hidden gem on your own as the seasons progress. Wildflowers vary over the seasons and in different microhabitats of the park, so you will see something different every time you hike at Tejas. No matter your expertise in wildflower identification, you will enjoy your hike!
Directions: From I-35, take Williams Drive west, then turn south on Farm to Market Rd 3405. Turn east on County Rd 258 and continue across the North San Gabriel River. Turn left into Tejas Park.
