Discovering your town: Towne Lake, McKinney

Another fabulous trail in the DFW area is Towne Lake in McKinney. The large lake attracts a few shorebirds like the great blue heron, night heron, snow geese and of course the mallard ducks. So if you're a birder this would be a great place to get those bird pictures.

One of the other neat features of this park is the Wilson Creek nature trail that also houses a small meditation garden. This short trail meanders through the woods and makes you feel like you are far away from civilization.


This park is actually part of a 102 acre Towne Lake Recreation area that houses basketball and volleyball courts and picnic areas. The 1.3 mile trail around the lake is paved and easy to traverse and for a birder like me, the shore birds that congregate here are a plus.

If you are a resident in the DFW area, this is definitely a great place to enjoy the outdoors and get the much needed Vitamin N(ature).
