North Shore Shady Trail Loop

Water continues to flow in the North Concho which feeds O.C. Fisher Lake. Granted, it's not much water flowing but nonetheless, it is flowing. The debris in the tree above the river is from the floods of 2015.

Comments:

Route Bell's Trailhead > Shady Trail > service road (N) > Bell's Trailhead 1.0 miles

Temps in the mid 60's, sunny, light wind.

Short stroll along Shady trail and back on the service road running parallel to the trail. Saw lots of birds and a couple of Red Tail hawks. On the way out saw a Great Blue Heron hunting in the fields.

NOTES

Water, shade and toilets available at the campground near Bell's Trailhead.
