Author As much as I love hiking in mud, this weather is ridiculous. We’ll reschedule this at a later (drier) date.
We’ll meet at the East Winningkoff trailheand and head north to explore the beginnnings of the Sycamore Loop. You’ll be able to turn around at any time. Weather events may occur, so monitor our website and/or Facebook page for a cancellation.

Where – E. Winningkoff Trailhead on E. Winningkoff, under the water tower
What to bring – bug spray, sun block, water!! Comfortable walking shoes (there may be mud)
The rain forecast calls for day long rain, so it’ll be too muddy to enjoy hiking the trail. We’ll look at rescheduling this in drier weather.
TTPA and Lucas will be sponsoring a hiking event for Lucas residents. We’ll go north from Brockdale Trailhead as far as the underpass on E. Lucas Rd. See our Trail Map page on our website for a map of the area we’ll be hiking.
