Thank Goodness for Lake Waco!

Nov 23 | 9:00 AM | Waco Lake Hike and Bike Trail Parking Lot

Directions: Parking lot is off of Airport Road next to the Bosque River between Fuzzy Friends Rescue and the soccer fields.

DESCRIPTION:  November is a good month to be thankful for Lake Waco!  Join Waco Walks on Saturday November 23 at the Waco Lake Hike and Bike Trail Parking for our "Thank Goodness for Lake Waco Walk.”    You will learn some of the history of the dam, why it is important, how it works, and a bit about the flora and fauna of the area.  Our leader will be Arianna Jacinto, Lead Natural Resources Specialist / Park Ranger.  Meet up at 9 AM on November 23 at the Waco Lake Hike and Bike Trail Parking lot.  The parking lot is located off of Airport Road next to the Bosque River between Fuzzy Friends Rescue and the soccer fields.  For more information google “Waco Walks” or find “Waco Walks” on Facebook.

The narrated part of this walk will be short, only half a mile.  We will walk to the trail on the top of the dam, but we will not walk the trail. Afterward, you are invited to walk the trail (2.8 miles) on your own if you like.

TIPS:  Pee before you come, there are no restrooms in the vicinity.  You might want to put on some insect repellant (although the bugs should not be too bad this time of year.)

HYDRATION: Please bring your own water. (For your pets too if needed.)

DOGS: Dogs are welcome, but they MUST be on a leash, and you MUST come prepared to scoop the poop!

WEATHER/CANCELLATION PLAN: We plan to walk rain or shine, so if it looks like rain, bring an umbrella. In the event that it is a terrible storm or something happens and we have to cancel, we will send out a note to the email list. To subscribe to the email list, click here: http://eepurl.com/cG7kdj.
