Brushy Creek Lake Park and East Trail (Cedar Park, TX) – June 2020

 I really have lost count how many times I’ve been on the main trail at Brushy Creek.  But that’s kind of the point.  I’d been on the main trail so many times that I hadn’t explored any of the side areas.  I was doing this as part of the Georgetown Running Club’s 2020 Summer Tour, and that was a good motivating factor.  I knew it would take a number of different trips to fully complete the trails, but I would do what I could on each visit.

 I started at the Lake Park area, headed east over the dam, and went past Champion Park.  There I crossed a small bridge and followed the “parallel trail” east.  I went past Olson Meadows Park, and that was my turnaround spot because by then I had just enough water to get back to the car.  I was a good start, but I did notice a number of side trails off the parallel one, so I saw new places to explore.
