Hike the Beaver Slide Trail

The Beaver Slide Trail is a hidden gem! See quiet ponds, sloughs, and Big Sandy Creek on this short hike. Distance: 1 mile roundtrip Type: Out-and-back and loop combination Location: Big Sandy Creek Unit Trailhead: Pullout on FM 943 Lat/Long: 30.573174, -94.642417 Overview Begin the hike at the pullout along Farm to Market Road (FM) 943. From there, the trail descends into the woods, going over a few short wooden bridges to a scenic pond lined with bald cypress trees. Shortly after going over some large, exposed tree roots, you reach the beginning of the loop section. Take a glance around to familiarize yourself with this intersection—it can be easily missed when returning to the trailhead. Go left or right to begin the loop, then pass several more scenic sloughs and eventually reach a bend in Big Sandy Creek. When you reach the loop intersection again, return to the trailhead.
