Harlingen Thicket

Beautiful scenery. Lots of trails to walk. Only thing is there is so much feces from animals and dogs (some looked like human feces) ON the trail ways, and lots of garbage. It's pretty gross. Saw some used condoms and the wrappers to them on one trail. You definitely wouldn't want your child to go walking with you and find any of those things. If it were cleaned up a little it would make it alot more pleasant for people to enjoy the walks and nature.

Nice area for a walk, run, or bike ride. The trails are wide and smooth and very well maintained. There’s also a covered picnic area and an indoor restroom at the entrance. The nature is very nice - I saw a snake, lots of birds, and a bunch of different cacti and flowers. Plenty of parking as well.

It is a great place to walk, run and bike. It is recommended to bring bug spray just in case and water due to the heated weather on sunny days. The scenery is amazing when the sun goes down by seeing the sky and stars on clear nights. 3 parks are connected to the trail here

Harlingen Thicket is a great place for birdwatching on the edge of the city. There are good trails through the thorn forest, and other wildlife like javelinas can also be seen.

Be prepared to hike! Some areas are steep and muddy when it rains. If you are looking forward to working out this is the place💕🚲 No bikes allowed at Thicket Birding Center.
