Stokes Park — Attraction in San Marcos

Short little trail that runs along the side of the river closest to the road. At one spot there was a sign on the other side that read "no trespassing".

Be on the look out for a peeping Tom, was seen today 04/09/2022 at around 11:48 am. He was underneath the bridge on the closes off side of the park.
