Hiking the Nature Trails in Beavers Bend State Park

We were going to take the South Park Trail near our campground to the Beaver Creek Trail but…
We didn’t bring waders… This one was not a nature trail but most of the others we went on were.
I took three kids on this next short hike.It was listed as a nature trail. It was right across from the Nature Center.

I never did get to see inside the Center, they kept odd hours and were only open once the whole time we were there.Another beautiful hike.

I only took three kids with me for this hike also. This time we found a good spot to cross and continue on the trail. So pretty.

We all went on the Cedar Bluff Nature Trail together.

It ended up being pretty uphill but the view at the top was beautiful. I get a little crazy about wanting to see everything so I was bummed to realize I missed a few nature trails but the ones we went on were beautiful!

If you have young kids or need an easy hike, look for nature trails.

They are usually short 1-2 miles or even less and pretty easy.

To the left of the boys a deer was just standing there staring at us! This was the only established place to walk around that we saw there. It was a beautiful scenic drive though and my kids want to go back when it is warmer to see Alligators.
When we found out about the Museum of the Red River we knew we wanted to stop! It is under construction so very small right now, the drawings look amazing of what they are planning though and it was free. The biggest selling point for us was the state dinosaur!

They don’t have the exhibit done for him yet but they did display it’s head and I read the story behind it online.

My dinosaur lover was very excited to get to see “Acro” even if it was just the head!

Here is a video I made of us exploring the area.

How much is that doggy in the window?

There is a reason that my husband does not even drive near those people trying to sell puppies in the parking lot of walmart.

He knows that I have zero self control around puppies…

This one just happened to drop in my lap though… We have been trying for over a week to find his owners and finally decided he was probably staying. I really did try not to love this little pup but it’s sweetness kind of broke me. So it looks like we are getting a puppy for Christmas!
