Description
This section of Plano's Chisholm Trail runs along the west side of Spring Creek. There is a bridge at the south end that connects to the rest of the Chisholm Trail system, and Copper Creek playground is on the north end. There is a second bridge at Chatsworth Ln. that goes over a tributary creek. Most of the trail is shady, with good views of the creek. There is access to the creek in a couple of spots, and the dogs can play and get a drink. The creek is usually shallow enough to wade in, only ankle deep in many parts. There are lots of fossils in the creek bed. You may spot a coyote or bobcat if you're lucky.
Flora & Fauna
Fish and turtles in the creek, Wildflowers and native plants. There are some dogwoods along the trail. Occasional coyote and bobcat sightings in the area.
