The Good Water Trail Loop from Tejas Park offers a diverse and engaging jogging experience around Lake Georgetown. You'll encounter varied terrain, from wider dirt roads on the northern shore to particularly rough sections with numerous rock fields and sharp limestone, especially between mile 5 and 6. Expect picturesque views of the lake throughout, often from bluffs, as you wind through cedar and oak woodlands interspersed with open prairie sections.

This loop is recognized as an IMBA Epic Trail, highlighting its quality and challenging nature, even for mountain bikers. While it offers a rewarding workout for experienced trail runners with 350 feet (107 metres) of elevation gain, be prepared for the taxing rocky sections.

A beautiful tranquil waterfall and a rain shower. Highly recommended - but you have to be very sure-footed and prepared to climb to get there.

Located on the edge of Lake Georgetown, this spot is one of the hidden gems in the area. Water from the spring continuously flows over a small hill, cascading over rocks below. It's definitely a must-see in the area.

The waterline is up and you have to access the falls from further down the trail. The rock structure has broken off, but it's still a stunning view!
