Eisenhower Park, San Antonio

I hesitate to even rate this place highly because I want it to remain a hidden gem with just the right amount of foot traffic. If you want an easy paved stroll, check. Want more unpaved trails, check. Some steep climbs, check. Short hike, long hike, trail run, Texas views, all check. Place for picnic, check, great place to get onto the Salado Greenway, check. If you want a short or long day outside, this is a good place.

Recently went on a hike with my husband at Eisenhower Park. I noticed it was very busy for a Thursday afternoon but it was still a very beautiful walk. I did underestimate how steep the incline was but at a slow steady pace it was easy to get to the outlook. I wish I had got a picture of the beautiful view but our excitement was cut short when we ran into a very eager young man who couldn't help but go on a rant about something so we left kind of quickly. I can not wait to go back and do it again before it gets too hot outside.
