Scenic walks at Copperfield Park

Nature lovers will enjoy living next to Copperfield Park, which features a playscape, a pavilion with picnic tables and a trail system. The Copperfield Trail is a 3.5-mile out-and-back trail where hikers encounter two small, spring-fed ponds and native birds. It is also a popular site for scenic walks with furry friends. Following the trail, hikers can reach the Walnut Creek Greenbelt, which consists of 206 acres of hilly wooded areas cut by creeks and ravines. History and culture are close at hand. Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms is a nearby living history park and museum that preserves and interprets Texas’ storied past, particularly in the 19th century. Here, visitors can step back into the 1800s through workshops in folk arts, guided tours and live reenactments.
