Nature Trails

** New Trail Under Construction ** Imagine tracing Peacock Springs' serpentine caves and caverns. Winding its way from spring to sink, photographs and maps showcase what lies just below your feet. You are given a glimpse of an underwater world few venture to see; millennia-old geologic features, cave dwelling creatures or a cave diver gliding silently below.

Construction of erosion control boardwalks is currently underway. These boardwalks will contain state of the art interpretive kiosks. Visitors will be able to experience the magic of the springs and learn how to protect these wonders of nature for years to come.

Visit this site again for the progress on this new hiking experience.
