Turnback Canyon Trail

Nestled in the natural beauty of Lago Vista, Turnback Canyon Trail provides an opportunity to experience native wildlife, mature trees, and the tranquil sounds of flowing water. The trail begins at the cul-de-sac of Foothill Cove, where visitors descend a series of manmade steps before winding beneath a beautiful tree canopy. Along the way, hikers cross several small streams and a pedestrian bridge spanning a picturesque rock hollow, creating a unique and enjoyable outdoor experience.
