Photo Journal: Johnny Broyle’s Nature Trail & Cottonwood Park

 

I learn about new nature parks and trails in the Dallas/North Texas area every day. I am honestly blown away by how many there are… and my list is long of the ones I have not been to.

Over the holiday break, I decided to venture out to Johnny Broyle’s Nature Trail and Cottonwood Park, both situated a couple miles apart on the same peninsula in Little Elm. The trails are flat but provide ample views of and access to Lewisville Lake.

Happy exploring!
