What to do and see in Moody, Moody: The Best Things to do

Reviewed By thudson1966 - Gatesville, United States

Recently I told my wife I wanted to visit one of the oldest State parks in Texas. I had visited it when I was a kid and wanted to see it again. So we made the short half hour drive there and realized the park had changed but hadn't changed. At first I had forgotten that a few years earlier a flood had destroyed most of the old Park I had romped in when I was a kid. So I entered the new entrance to Mother Neff State Park and thought this was going to be different, not good. I can tell you I was wrong! We were created at a beautiful headquarters and the rangers were so helpful and reassured me that parts of the old Park lived in the new Park. So I was skeptical but felt a little better as we hit the hiking trails. Fresh air in nature and sure enough found the Old Indian Cave, The Washpond, and The Lookout Tower just like it was when I was a kid. Plus they have added a wonderful bird watching blind that I just love. The old Park was still here just approaching it from East side instead of the west side down by the river. The oldest State Park in Texas known as the "Mother of Texas State Park" is still here and more beautiful than when I was a kid! Home to a very rare bird the Golden Cheeked Warbler. So if your in Central Texas, stop by and take a look. I can honestly tell you that you will not regret it.
