Cameron Park

We hiked the River and Johnie trails. The river trail is flat, scenic and shaded. The Johnie trail was moderate to difficult traveling up the side of the bluff. There are some very good trail signs, but many junctions with intersecting trails with no markers at all. You probably won’t get lost, but may have a hard time getting to a specific location. Good parking areas and bathrooms. Nice for a city park, adding good signage makes it excellent.

This was a surprise for us - being our first stay in Waco! The parks were absolutely beautiful! Clean and well-kept. We enjoyed our day walking around, and there were plenty of people out having picnics and riding bikes. Definitely felt safe! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a daytime activity.

This is a really nice park with good hiking trails. You can take the easy path along the river or take the paths into the woods for some uphill climbing. We walked both for almost a 7 mile round-trip. Climb the Jacob's Ladder staircase if you want a challenging climb.
