Bald cypress trees are delightful, intricate works of art. Luckily, I live a short drive from many great locations to view these beauties.
The two locations I’m highlighting today are the Cibolo Nature Center in Boerne, TX and Cypress Bend Park in New Braunfels, TX.
The trail at the Cibolo Nature Center has quickly become one of my favorite destinations. It’s family-friendly (note that not all of the trail by the water is wheel accessible) and quite peaceful. I regularly observe people doing photography sessions.
Did you know? Cypress are in the Cupressaceae family.

Cypress Bend Park in the City of New Braunfels has big open fields to run in as well as an accessible trail. On the day I went, there were people fishing, walking their dogs, and just all-in-all having a great time. It’s a short and sweet trail.
According to the Cypress Bend park webpage, it is the last public exit for tubers to get out of the Guadalupe River.
In addition to the alluring cypress trees, both locations offer a variety of flora and fauna to enjoy.
Thanks for joining me and remember to explore your local parks + learning centers!
