A Walk in the Woods is beneficial to one's mental and physical health. This park offers shaded trails and lake views. Depending on the season, wild flowers and local wildlife may be present. [Lafayette Heritage Trail Park](https://www.talgov.com/parks/parks-trail-lafayette)

Meet near the restrooms. We meet at 5:15pm for sign-in and a 5:30pm start.

This will be a moderate to strenuous hike typically at 3 to 4 miles/hour. This may be the trail to Tom Brown Park and back (approx. 4 miles), or the trail to Alford Greenway, Bill’s Trail and back (approx. 3.7 miles). We will rest for a few minutes at the midway point near a public drinking water fountain. Expect walking on uneven ground and 50-foot elevation changes. Most of the route will be shaded, but there may be unshaded sections.

Remember to have a flashlight or head lamp now the days are shorter. Bring water and wear shoes appropriate for trail hiking. Bug repellent and sunscreen may be needed. Watch for snakes and poison ivy along the trail.

Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
