If you live in Round Rock and want to walk around a lake, great!  You can make the northern part a loop but they dont make the trail directly connect.  Somehow the geniuses creating this trail made it go up above (yet around) the creek so you cant even see it.  I only gave it a two because we went on the off-path trail (doesn't connect) and went through the trees.  Heard an animal in the trees twice and Erica said to watch out it could be wild and have rabies.  Two minutes later we smelled a skunk!

Little watterdrop and I conqured this trail, which was very easy (paved, no drastic changes in elevation) except for the heat.  There are few trees and much of the trail is black asphalt.  As the second portion of the trail is a loop, once you head out there is no quick way to get back so becareful if you have little ones.

That being said, the hike itself was very pleasant.  We saw a few other persons, but spent much of the day in relative solitude.  We brought along our fishing gear for the first part of the hike and took a break to try and catch a bass.  We didn't have much luck, but we caught several crawfish and the ducks were very friendly.  The second part of the hike we combined with some geocaching.

We saw a good variety of wildlife: Crawfish, turtles, minnows, ducks, a hawk, a cardnial, and several squirls.  We also identified some carnivor scat (probably a fox), racoon scat, and an owl pellet. 1013 cb.
