SAN MARCOS NATURAL AREAS
Nature is known to connect us to the world, to others, and to ourselves. The new Limestone Link Trail helps connect two existing public natural areas together, allowing nature lovers even more access to the beauty that is the Texas Hill Country. The trail spans 1.3 miles within a 102.8 acre tract within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The trail connects the existing Ringtail Ridge Natural Area and the River Recharge Natural Area. This project has been years in the making with the efforts from the Great Springs Project, the San Marcos Green Belt Alliance, the city of San Marcos, the property owners, The San Marcos River Foundation and countless volunteers who put in time to create this trail. It took a connected team of dedicated nature lovers to bring to life this trail connection, which will be used for generations to come.
The grand opening ceremony was held last week at the trail head located at 1807 Old Ranch Road 12. Garry Merritt, Great Springs Project CEO, started the event off with introductions and acknowledgements of the dozens of people who made this trail possible.
