Insider tips

Bring insect repellent as the proximity to the Brazos River can lead to high mosquito activity, especially during dawn and dusk.

Check the local municipal website for trail closure alerts, as heavy rainfall can occasionally flood low-lying path sections.

Utilize the water stations located near the dog park and playground to stay hydrated during high-heat months.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim in the Brazos River or park lake, as the current and water depth can be hazardous.
