- What: River Ranch County Park Field Trip
- When: 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM, Sunday, November 26, 2023

Imagine it’s the Sunday afternoon following Thanksgiving. Are you stuffed from all the food? Tired of the relatives? Well, we have just the solution — a walk in River Ranch County Park on November 26, 2023, from 2-4:30 PM.
When you arrive at the park, proceed to the parking lot at the Interpretive Center. We’ll meet at the Trailhead to walk to the Bell Oak, one of the two large Heritage Live Oaks. It’s a gentle uphill hike there and downhill on the way back. The round trip is about a mile. Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes. A hat and sunscreen are recommended. Bring your water. After our hike, which is a loop, we will head to the Interpretive Center for a tour of the facilities.
- If you are coming from the Georgetown area, due to construction in Liberty Hill, we recommend taking Ronald Reagan Blvd. Take a right onto Hero Way; and then head north on Bagdad Road (CR279) to arrive at the park on your left.
- If you are coming from another direction, we recommend taking any east-west thoroughfare north of RR1431 to reach Bagdad Road (CR279).
We will have a sign at the Park Entrance and a sign at the turnoff in the park by the Interpretive Center.
We look forward to getting you off the couch and away from the house.
