1. Stroll along the paved path
There are benches along the way if you want to stop and listen to the birds. We always take our time here, stopping to sit down next to an interesting statue along the way.
2. Learn about the history of the area
Robert E. Lee stayed in Boerne in the 1860s, according to the Civil War history book "The Gentleman Commander". (Video) If you have a kid like me, you can always throw in a history lesson while you walk.
3. See the dam located at the east end of the park
The history of the dam dates back over 100 years. Looking at it, I wouldn't have guessed that because it's so well preserved.
4. Take a picture with this adorable goose statue
5. You can see the Robert E. Lee House Marker along the Cibolo Creek
6. There are many turtles of all sizes
7. This elevated walkway makes you feel closer to nature
8. Stop for a bite to eat
The Dodging Duck Brewhaus & Restaurant serves cheesy nachos and other great food. My son and I have our "usual" table here and the waitresses remember us. My son refuses to eat breakfast on the day of our Boerne day trip so that he can eat more once we arrive.
9. There is plenty of space to relax near the water
10. Follow the trail up and down the river
Beautiful new plants are being planted along the way. We discover something new every time we visit.
