FACILITIES & AMENITIES: Plenty of parking. Where trails, upgrades & improvements are more abundant. The 2 other days start at the most beautiful entrance off of Judson Rd near the Julia Yates Semmes Library. Start my daily walk from the Nacogdoches entrance which is only a few blocks from my house 5 X week. Use one of the various hiking apps out there if you want to find all of the trailsĬOMANCHE LOOKOUT PARK is in my neighborhood where one can enter park from one of THREE ENTRANCES: Nacodoches Road, Judson Road or Fox Run. There are signs in the parking lot near the trailhead that explain the history, so I won’t bore you with that.The views: on a clear day, you can see the skyline of downtown San Antonio.The bottom line is, this is a fun hike with something for everyone. The steepest incline is about 165 feet in elevation change within half a mile stretch.There’s a cool “castle” tower at the top of the hill with a lot of history behind it (it’s fenced off, so you can’t go inside it). A few of them might be considered moderately difficult for a beginner, but not overwhelmingly so, or dangerous, etc. If you hit every single trail, you can get between 3.2 and 3.5 miles in - but that will include the unpaved trails. So basically, there is something for everyone here. Some with inclines, some with no inclines. This one is no exception.It’s a mix of paved and unpaved trails. Each trail profile includes maps, directions, driving times, nearby attractions, and other pertinent details.I give tremendous thanks to the City of San Antonio Parks department every time I visit one of our awesome parks. Extensive at-a-glance information makes it easy to choose the perfect hike based on length, difficulty, scenery, or on a specific factor such as hikes good for families, runners, or birding. This handy guide helps San Antonio and Austin natives get back into nature, with many options right in town. With this new edition in the best-selling 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles series, all these visually stunning and ruggedly charming routes are at the traveler's fingertips. The former LBJ Ranch, the Guadalupe River, the Highland Lakes Chain, and the Lost Pines area are just some of the spectacular places covered. The guide takes you to secluded, low traffic areas as well as those that are more popular and heavily used. 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin, by veteran authors Charlie Llewellin and Johnny Molloy, guides readers to the best trails found in the Texas Hill Country, all within easy reach of these two cities. This area is also known for some of the most impressive hiking in the Lone Star State. The San Antonio and Austin areas are steeped in history - San Antonio's Alamo stands as a symbol of Texas' fierce independence, while Austin is recognized as the cradle of Texas statehood. They do ask that you pick up after them though and provide "mutt mitts" for this purpose.Ħ0 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin: Including the Hill Country Dogs are very welcome and outnumber people usually. All in all this is one of my favorite places to go in town.ĮDIT: The page here says that dogs are not allowed.not true. A visit to the library at the south end of the park will treat you to some pictures of the land from the 1940's. The view from the top is quite nice, especially at sundown. Picnic tables and benches are scattered throughout the area so you can take a break or have lunch.
3 levels of trail difficulty challenge new walkers and depending on how you do it, seasoned walkers as well.
The city of San Antonio leaves a lot to be desired, but they really do love their parks and it shows with this one. Walking all of the trails will give you better than 2 miles worth (my daily hike is 2.18 miles according to GPS).
The trails are very good for the casual hiker and day walker. I do this one almost every day and its very enjoyable.
