My rating is based on trying to find a park with good trails. I thought I read on their website to only park in designated areas but I drove the whole loop and there was no parking lot, but found people were just parked along the street or some of the gravel paths near some of the lakes.
Along the loop it's really not clear either on where the trails are located. After driving the loop we stopped and took a pic of the map so we can figure out the areas we could walk. There are a few paths, but it would be great if each path listed their total distance.
We chose to take the Wildlife Habitat (WH) trail and planned to take the connecting path to the Archery Trail, but there are no signs leading you to that path. There are random openings along the WH path that just take you back to the same loop.
I then thought if we went to one of the lakes we could just walk along one of the lakes. We stopped at a few lakes, there is no path to walk along the lakes.
I think the park would be great if you are fishing. Some of the lake signs signified what type of fish you could catch there. Also if you just want to take a kayak or paddle board out on flat water, there are several options there.
Thinking we were missing something, we drove to the side of the park that had the horse trail. There we found the playground, but it is damaged and unfortunately,...
Read moreRelaxing, some wildlife, great place to walk. You can normally find a pond with no people and dogs are common. There are fish but the freshwater ponds are overfished and unstocked. Crane lake and cedar creek are brackish and have puppy drum, specks, and small saltwater fish. Cedar a creek is only good at high tide (fish cut bait in the small creek on the right) and Crane Lake is better from a boat. However, Crane Lake has a few good shore spots, use mirror lures or swim jigs for trout opposite end from the boat ramp or cut bait for catfish (best near the boat ramp). Butler track has the best bass fishing. The whole park is good...
Read moreThe park is really nice. I enjoy fishing here. I also have used the archery range. The range is ok.. ot needs some up kept, for example the markers for range distance can be hard to find and sometimes are broken up. The issue I have, the park restricts boaters from entering a creek for fishing. Apparently the park rangers will cite people for fishing in the creek if they used the Lone Star parks boat ramp even though the creek is fishable by law. The park has a small play ground for kids, horse trails and I'm assuming hiking trails. I'm giving them 4 because of the creek access thing. Besides that it's a fun place to be...
