Dad's Notes:
As you first start down the trail, there is a sign on the right identifying poison ivy! The area is shady, forested and likely the most beautiful area in Killeen. The trail runs along the river, Gray Herons nest here. A great waterfall, but be careful as the water level raises a few feet, suddenly (within seconds) when the dam generates. After the waterfall is Jacob's 'Wiggely' bridge! After the bridge it gets more 'jungle - like' with mossy cliffs inside a shady forested area. About 5 miles of hiking trails available, well worth the trip!
Poison Ivy: jagged edges, 3 leaves together, leaf looks like a mitten, sometimes has little white berries: "leaves of three, let it be." If you come in contact with poison ivy, wash the skin thoroughly with soap and cold water (not hot water) and contact your physician for treatment advice. More information on poison Ivy
