Get Back to Nature: Exploring the Best Nature Activities in Texas

If you’re looking to escape the urban hustle and get in touch with nature, Texas offers a diverse range of natural landscapes and activities that allow you to connect with the outdoors. In this blog, we’ll explore three fantastic nature-inspired activities you can enjoy in Texas.

Horseback Riding

Texas has long been associated with horses and wide-open spaces. With urban sprawl over the past 100 years, we’ve seen more skyscrapers than horses, but there are places in Texas where you can still ride. When you’re horseback riding through the beautiful Texas landscapes, you’ll feel like a true Texan cowboy or cowgirl. It’s meditative to ride along scenic lakes and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The Stables at Millican Reserve Land Conservancy is a full-care boarding facility where you can keep your horse. Or you can enjoy horseback riding activities if you’re a day trail rider with a conservancy membership.  

Hiking

Texas boasts an array of hiking opportunities that cater to hikers of all levels. The state’s diverse landscapes offer something for everyone. Whether you’re a casual day hiker or an avid backpacker, Texas has got you covered.

If you’re looking for the perfect hiking trail in Texas, consider checking out Millican Reserve.

Canoeing and Kayaking

For those who love the serenity of the water, canoeing, and kayaking in Texas offer a unique way to experience the area’s natural beauty.
