Jacob's Review:  The nature trail has a wiggely old pirate bridge, a waterfall a lot of plants. It looks like a jungle forest if you go past the wiggely bridge. There are a lot of butterflies there, too!

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.

Jacob Tip:   It is good to learn what poison ivy looks like so you don't camp in it! It is also fun to use walkie-talkies with your parents ~ then you can scout out the trail ahead! Dad Says: Dressing kids in bright clothing in forested areas makes it easier to spot and keep track of them!
