7 Perfect Places for a Hill Country Picnic
By |
Nestled in the wooded area between FM 1518 and FM 78 in Schertz, TX, is Crescent Bend Nature Park, a relatively untouched preserve that lies along Cibolo Creek. The park is subtle in its simplicity, made up of little more than a decomposed gravel walking trail that winds back and forth through the trees. Home to a number of native birds and wildlife species, Crescent Bend is a favorite of Hill Country bird enthusiasts. With a few tables and lots of open space for picnicking, Crescent Bend is the perfect place to get back to nature and enjoy a picnic in the warmth of the Texas sunshine.
