Description

Don’t be surprised if you feel a little underdressed when you arrive at the mouth of the trailhead: The historic cottage and wandering peacocks make Mayfield a popular wedding destination. But walk past the frequent parties, and there are 24 acres to explore, including a path that takes you down to a dock overlooking Lake Austin and several small lily ponds filled with turtles. Be warned that this hike isn’t going to build up your quads. But if you are looking to unwind after a stressful week, it can’t be beaten.
