This is a beautiful preserve right in the middle of town with miles of trails. There is interesting history around the spring-fed lake near the trailhead. The lake is the site of a former amusement park called Aquarena Springs that featured Ralph the swimming pig, a submarine theater, and mermaids. You can still take the glass-bottomed boat tour that shows you all of the underwater springs that feed the lake and San Marcos River.
