Little Watterdrop and I walked this smooth and easy trail around 3pm. It was a pleasent afternoon, and while there were some boates on the lake, we did not meet anyone along the path. We spent some time watching turtles in the creek and identifing some of the flora. A great hike for those of us with little tag-a-longs!
Very interesting hike

Little Watterdrop and I took this path after exploring the easier Pecan Grove trail. We made it to the first set of falls before we realized that 1. the creek bed was all dried up (makes the waterfall significantly less interesting) and 2. it was getting late and I didn't want to get caught by the 6pm gate, or stuck in traffic on my way back home. What we saw was very interesting, extreamly secluded, with lots of interesting flora and fauna. We found a small patch of water isolated in the creekbed with about 100 tadpoles of various species. The sound made by the Cypurs (?) branches in the wind was chilling, like something out of a horror movie. We will try this again when we have had some rain in the area.
