Trail Dogs' Hike & Swim

When someone mentions spring-fed rivers, crystal clear water and limestone bluffs, one normally thinks of the Texas Hillcountry near the city of Austin, not to mention the five-hour road trip required to get there. Little do most D-FW citizens know about  our little oasis right in the heart of Richardson and Garland, Texas and we hope to keep it that way - just a secret known to us dog lovers who truly appreciate the beauty and serenity of nature. This extended corridor of spring-fed creeks runs for many miles and is second only to those found in the Hillcountry.  Because we are confident that the priorities of our suburbia will not change anywhere in the near future, we are certain that our hidden springs will remain a secret only to those of us who value nature over more materialistic and human-oriented social activities. Only a very small minority of the citizens in our city actually make the time to engage in hiking and exercising their dogs on a daily or weekly basis. While the citizens of our glitzy metropolis focus on fashion, the arts,  pee wee soccer and their slavery to corporate America, the rest of us will be sitting on the Austin Chalk, dipping our toes in the bubbling springs while our dogs chase Frisbees and drag logs through the water in a game of tug-o-war. When the day is done, we will hike back through the woods on the earthen trail to find our way back to civilization until the next day is here.

As an added measure to protect the secrecy of these environmental treasures, not just everyone will be able to access these pages. Only if you are a local member of the Hike & Swim group, will you be given the key to access the comprehensive list of maps and directions found within.  All you need to do to gain access is to attend a Hike & Swim activity where you will be given the username and password for all of these pages. If you don't have a dog, borrow your neighbors! The dog will appreciate you for it! We hope this measure of protection will keep our pristine creeks and streams from being over run with people who do not respect the fragile nature of this environment.  Please remember, we carry out what we carry in...
