HIKING - NATURAL GRASSLANDS
Located in Decatur, Texas, (where else?) the LBJ Grasslands is home to an abundance of wildlife and waterfowl.
There are groves of towering Loblolly pines so tall that when you try to view their peaks, the back of your head will almost touch your feet!
Anchored in one small grove is a trickling stream, generally coated in a vivid green fluff of lichen.

The Grasslands area is very pleasant and pristine, scented by the clustered pine groves located there.
Deer are plentiful, as are birds including blue jays, mocking birds, robins and redbirds.
If you wander off the beaten path you’ll discover persimmon, wild plum, and nut trees.
There is one area within the Grasslands that contains a beautiful bridge that shoots over an extreme blue-hue of a stream.
Though wildlife is abundant, people and traffic remain minimal. Due to this, the Grasslands make a fantastic backdrop for wildlife photography. If you’re fortunate to cross paths near the Grassland, take a few minutes to stop and enjoy the serenity and peace folded around this vast strip of land, so suitably named in honor of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
