The park is located in Colorado City, Texas which is between Abilene and Midland. I really like the west Texas and Panhandle parks of Texas. This park was going to be a throw in park but turned out to be the highlight of the weekend. I did not get a trail map at the entrance but the trail was very easy to follow. The main problem is that I hiked a trail I did not want to hike. The only other park trail is the trail I was planning on hiking. Even with that mistake, the hike was great. The Cactus Trail was an one mile out and back. I of course turned it into a 2.5 mile scenic adventure. The trail was appropriately named. There were beautiful cacti lined up all around the trail. The trail had the rock desert feel of west Texas and a great view of the lake. The rock formations were nice and made the hike more interesting. 
This was hike 34 in my 52 Hike Challenge Explorer Series. It was an enjoyable experience but I wish I remembered the other trail. I think next time I will sleep at this park as a hub to venture to some further west parks. The hike ranks fairly high on my favorite list.
Next up my yurt stay in Abilene.
