Horseshoe Bay Nature Park
Opened in 2021, this 11-acre park is dedicated to the preservation of the Highland Lakes ecosystem. Visitors can walk a half-mile crushed granite loop trail that passes through eight ecological zones, including tallgrass prairie, Ashe juniper thickets, and granite outcroppings. The park features an observation deck, a bird blind, and an analemmatic sundial. Operated by the nonprofit HSB Park, Inc., the site is recognized as a Texan by Nature Certified project.
