Sunday Hike at Cedar Ridge Preserve (Moderate Difficulty)

Hey everyone! We have another warm day coming up. Let's enjoy it while we can by taking a hike at Cedar Ridge Preserve.

🧍🏾‍♀️ What We'll Do:

1️⃣ Cattail Pond Loop

• Distance: ~2.5 miles round trip
• Terrain: Uneven at times, moderate elevation gain (298 ft), stairs
• Route:
• Start at the pavilion area
• Follow the trail to Cattail Pond
• Complete the loop and return to the pavilion

📝 Note: This is a moderate hike that includes stairs, uneven ground at times, and elevation that can be challenging for some. Please wear shoes with significant grip and pack water and a small snack to stay comfortable on the trail.

🔹 Where to Park: Arrive a bit early as parking fills up on warmer days. When entering the preserve, there are several spots to park along the entrance driveway. That driveway leads to a bigger, main parking lot within the preserve which has more spots. If there's no parking in the preserve, overflow parking is located down the street at Woods Recreation Center (6801 Mountain Creek Pkwy, Dallas, TX 75249).

🔹 Where to Find Us: We'll meet by the benches near the pavilion. The pavilion has restrooms and water fountains and is right** before the area that leads to all trailheads.

🌞 Weather & Miscellaneous: As of posting this, it’ll be 60 degrees when we start the hike. It should be comfortable, but layers are recommended depending on your preference.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
