Hiking
The Kirby Nature Trail is a beautiful way to get acquainted with the Big Thicket. It comprises three loops, two big – Inner and Outer – and the smaller Cypress Loop, which branches off the Inner Loop. At the Village Creek crossing, the 17-mile (27 km) Turkey Creek Trail begins.

Hiking
The Kirby Trail can easily be extended to 10 km by incorporating the Sandhill Loop, which follows a section of the Turkey Greek Trail. This is essentially a sandy singletrack trail that winds through pine forest, offering glimpses of marshy areas and flowing water.
