The trails are unmarked and the place is in disrepair. It's good for a walk but don't expect to see many birds.

In mostly flat land and subtropical climate of deep south Texas ,this is a wonderful addition.
Great place for tranquil walks with undulating trail along the Arroyo, that goes up and down.Not particularly hilly but still enough ups and downs to give a feeling of going over small hillocks and looking forward to the next bend and the suprise with it.

It is a great place to walk, run and bike. It is recommended to bring bug spray just in case and water due to the heated weather on sunny days. The scenery is amazing when the sun goes down by seeing the sky and stars on clear nights. 3 parks are connected to the trail here

Harlingen Thicket is a great place for birdwatching on the edge of the city. There are good trails through the thorn forest, and other wildlife like javelinas can also be seen.

Super easy trail but always have protection on you. I’ve had a few issues on this trail but nothing too bad. Enjoy!!!!

Be prepared to hike! Some areas are steep and muddy when it rains. If you are looking forward to working out this is the place💕🚲
No bikes allowed at Thicket Birding Center.

Such a peaceful place to take a walk or even go for a run. Just be careful for ticks and some of the wild animals there. The sunset and sunrise looks beautiful here.
