Discover Cameron Park on Wednesday’s

Wild Wednesdays hikes are back, and they’re the perfect excuse to stretch your legs, soak in some fresh air, and explore the beauty of Cameron Park! Every Wednesday at 5:45 p.m., Waco park rangers lead a free, guided hike through one of Texas’ largest municipal parks—yep, Cameron Park spans a massive 416 acres of trails, cliffs, and scenic views along the Brazos River.

All ages and skill levels are welcome, so grab your hiking shoes and meet at Northern Gateway (704 Park Lake Dr.). Whether you’re a seasoned trail pro or just in it for the views, this is your chance to make Wednesday your new favorite day of the week!
