An Eagle Scout candidate recently worked with the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT) Williamson County chapter and the Williamson County Parks & Recreation Department to install six new interpretive plant signs at the western end of Lake Creek Trail.

Maps for the new signs on this southern Williamson County trail can be found at the bottom of our chapter’s Interpretive Plant Signs webpage. A laminated interpretive plant sign has also been posted in the trailhead kiosk.

There is ample parking for this flat, paved 0.25-mile section of the trail. Check out the new signs when you get a chance!
