The Texas Buckeye Trail is a level, soft service nature trail that meanders gently through the Great Trinity Forest to destinations that include the Trinity River Overlook, the Texas Buckeye Grove (Texas Buckeyes usually bloom in March) and the White Rock Creek Overlook. Each path will lead you to its overlook destination through a deep forest that includes mature Bur Oak, Cedar Elm and Pecan trees. Hiking the entire Buckeye Trail network and returning to the trailhead offers the hiker a 6+ mile hike.  www.texasbuckeyetrail.org
