“The Bowl Loop”
The Bowl Loop consists of a 1/3 mile paved loop. The Bowl Loop is a mild trails that consists of fairly even elevation and minimal slope changes. This trail is in a heavily shaded area and provides cooler and more mild temperatures year round. The cooler area mixed with mild topography changes will allow for even the most novice walker to enjoy an evening stroll or mild walk.
“The Nature Loop”
The Nature Loop is a 1/4 mile gravel trail that drop and rises with the elevation of the land. It also consist of many twists and bends through the trees and between rock faces. This trail is also shaded and with the small stream that runs beside it keeps the area cool. While the trails in wide and level, the steep grades would not lend well to anyone below an intermediate skill level.
“The Fitness Loop”
The Fitness Loop is located around our softball fields and connects directly to our Nature Loop. The 1/2 mild loop is completely paved, wide and level for all walking or running skill levels. The trail also consists of various exercise equipment located just off of the trail. This set up will not only allow for an excellent cardiovascular work out, but will provide you the space necessary to complete a decent strength work out routine as well.
The Lundy Trail
The Lundy Trail is the most recent addition to trail system within Grayson County Parks and Recreation. Its name come from the family that originally owned the land and the trail is located adjacent to “The Falls”. The Falls are also commonly referred to as Powerhouse Falls or Peach Bottom Falls to locals of Grayson County. While this trail is still being developed, it is accessible for those more advanced hikers because there are climbs and steeper inclines on this trail. However, if you are not a hiker the scenery at the base of the trail viewing The Falls is gorgeous. This will be a beautiful hike when completed.
Always Growing
Grayson County Parks and Recreation is constantly growing. We are regularly working to improve, add and develop new trails and attractions to our parks. We have recently begun the development of a conceptual plan to assist with growth throughout our park system. Future plans will include the connection of our trail system with the walking path that begins on Main Street in Independence with the Lundy Trail system. This conceptual plan also provides the for the development of various other attractions to our park. These would include fishing, hiking, mountain biking, bouldering, and disc golf. While these plans are purely conceptual, it does help provide users a look at what our parks could be. Grayson County is growing and Grayson County Parks and Recreation will continue to grow with it.
