Timmaron Park and Spring Creek Hike
Details
Intro:
Join up at Timarron Park, walk out through the neighborhood lakes,then join the Spring Creek Nature Trail for a loop and back to the local park. Planned just shy of 9 miles of trails, mostly natural surfaces and mostly shaded. Facilities and parking at the park.
One bridge crossing by side of road on sidewalk and a bit of a hill involved, fyi! The rest is either nature trail or local Woodlands pathways. Pace is moderate by hiking standards at roughly 20 minute miles or 3 mph.
Caveats:
I am by no means a professional guide, so please be responsible for your own safety, be prepared to navigate on your own, and be physically able to enjoy the hiking.
All levels of experience welcome, but be sure to inform us beforehand of any accommodations or particular interests and we'll go from there. I have no ego involved in the route or pace, so just keep me informed if you are faster or slower than the main body of the group or have other suggestions.
Weather:
Average weather is pretty moderate this time of year, but be prepared! Temps usually range from low 50s at night to high-70s daytime. Overcast or mostly cloudy about 40% of the time. Thunderstorms and lightening possible, in which case we will cancel, so watch the weather forecasts! Semper preperavit!
Recommendations:
I always recommend plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen & insect repellent as a start. Other good ideas include having a separate pair of shoes for driving away to keep the car clean and perhaps provide a little relief.
Check out hiking guidelines online for other suggestions if you are new to hiking or need a refresher. I would download the map and/or have a paper back up if you are cautious, too!
Courtesies:
Edit your RSVP! I would rather have more people show up than have delays waiting for those who don't. Please don't sign up if you are tentative; just show up! If you do need to cancel, please edit your RSVP asap!
Communicate! Things happen! If you experience delays, comment or dm and keep us informed. This holds for during events, too. We will adjust or accommodate whenever possible.
