    A visit to Veterans Administration Lake is always a good idea. Wendland Farms Lake is a tremendous lake close to Veterans Administration Lake, and an afternoon playing golf at Sammons Park Golf Course is always a delight. If only every place had this much outdoors enjoyable things, what a great globe it would be. After a long day outdoors Howard Johnson Express Inn - Temple is a brilliant location to spend a night or two, and don't leave Veterans Administration  
   Lake without first going for a hike along the Chalk Ridge Falls Park Trail. Lakes? Sure, Lake Polk is in close proximity, and nice hiking is available along the Mother Neff State Park Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. The yearly rain here at Veterans Administration Lake is about average; the month of May is the wettest with most of the rain; July meanwhile is the driest month. Camping at Temple RV Park and RV Sales is always a glorious experience; do stop

Chalk Ridge Falls Park Trail

I sat on the top side of waterfall and used a rope swing further down the trail, but no leeches. They really should look in to rebuilding a new draw bridge and maybe organizing a clean up day for the trails stream just past the waterfall and old brige. It has the potential of being like Bull Creek in the Austin Texas Green Belt....There are leeches in this waterfall!!!!!!!!!! But it's very pretty but not worth getting sucked on by leeches....

Salado Creek
17 miles away
So, after reading the above review, the wife and I decided to give this river a shot (we live close by anyway). We have had tons of rain this year, and the water was moving at a pretty good clip. However, the creek bed is wide, making the water shallow. We spent at least 50% of the trip walking. There are a few deep pools, but they are few and far between. Also, not mentioned above, we crossed 4 dams. 2 were easy, 2 were not. Some of the scenery was very nice, but personally, I think it wasn't nice enough to risk twisting an ankle.
If you do decide to go, give yourself an minimum of 5 hours to complete the trip....
