Welcome to part one of five of my photo tour series of Brazos Bend State Park's "Elm Lake Loop Trail". This trail is 1.7 mi. (2.7 Km.) and circles around the Elm Lake in Brazos Bend State park in Texas. This is truly an interesting hike for reptile lovers as it is home to snakes, turtles, and alligators. All of which you can literally walk right up to!
