Lake Waco Wetlands

The Wetlands building wasn't opened so couldn't explore what they had inside so walked around pathways and very soon noticed...no wetness. All dried up. Still adventured out on those paths. Was very nice seeing different bugs, few butterflies 🦋. Knowing actually how deep had the water been if had water. Not deep. What like maybe under 3'. Healthy walk for me and my younger son.

This is a wonderful place in the nature to view the total solar eclipse. We were able to feel different bugs and birds chirping transitions during the solar eclipse phases!

We love this place! There is plenty to explore and it isn't too far outside of town... about 15 minutes. Someone mentioned that a fire had damaged the wetlands. To clarify, it was a prescribed burn, which are used to manage overgrowth and improve the habitat. We visited recently and everything has grown back nicely. My oldest kid enjoyed taking photos of everything!

The wetland is very dry in March. No birds, no turtles.

Fabulous place to learn about nature’s “kidneys”. They have a beautiful educational room with floor maps and interesting facts on the wall. The wetlands are always well maintained with regular mowing and it’s great fun to explore the boardwalks and observe the natural world. They also offer small guided tours. Many dog walkers come to enjoy the space with their leashed companions .

Saw a few lifer sparrows! We came in on the solar eclipse, and they even offered the glasses for free! Very nice of them but we brought our own. Got a very good few minutes of the eclipse, and it was magical!

We walked around this place for 90 minutes in warm sunshine. The education centre is super informative, and the bird watching is great. A nice break from our road trip.

Very nice facilities and hiking trails, sadly plagued with flooding, pump issues.
