The Lake Somerville Trailway State Park Trip is a go!
We hiked the north side of the lake previously, from the Birch Creek Unit, now we are going to try the souhern trail, called the Nails Creek Unit.
The northern trail was about 3.5 miles, an easy hike, along the lakeside. It is an equestrian trail therefore camping accommodations are nicer than most primitive sites - with wooden benches (leave the tripod chair!), a water trough & pump (leave the extra water), and a luxury for Texas backpacking -- a campfire ring. This really makes the atmosphere of the camping, chatting in the evening and morning coffee are a wonderful experience. The camping toilet is right by the campsite also. As for the water - we did bring a charcoal filter, pumped into a clean cooking pot, and filtered the water from the pot into our water bottles.
Looking forward to our Nails Creek Experience! Will report back on the camping.
