Summary: This short trail takes you past some interesting geological formations. The first you will pass is a sinkhole, followed by a small cave. The largest cave, marked with a waypoint on the map, is surrounded by a fence to prevent damage. This area is ecologically sensitive, so stay on the trail. As a nature preserve, no dogs or bikes are permitted.
Trailhead: From Brodie Lane, turn onto Deer Lane. As Deer lane widens, the trailhead for the preserve is on the right side of the road. There is some parking across from the trailhead on the left side of the street. (Lat:30.1969 Lon:-97.84803)
