Hiking Fort Richardson State Park
Fort Richardson State Park located near Jacksboro Texas provides hikers with four short hiking trails that feature different micro-ecosystems within the park. The trails are not very long and are probably not noteworthy if you are traveling there just for the hiking. If you are camping or already find yourself in the area then these trails will take you to some of the best spots in the park. I have ranked these hikes in my order of preference. I visited in early November so the leaves were changing color and it wad for a really pretty day. I ended up hiking all four of these trails in one morning. I arrived a little after nine o'clock and was off the trail by noon. The trails do not connect so you have to move to a new trailhead to start each of the hikes. 1.
