One of those hidden in plain sight kinda places at the Flower Mound Riverwalk with this fountain. Traffic on the one ways streets flows in a direction where it is not seen. This is one of those things with a bicycle at a slower pace you get to see.

Secret Spot Saturday
The Bluebonnet Trail runs through Post Oak Park where you will find this secluded pond. It is quite unique since it has a floating boardwalk. It is very narrow. Recommend walking over it as it you take in the scenery and wildlife.

Secret Spot Saturday
Ah another secret spot. If overlooking the water isn’t close enough this spot will bring you right to the waters edge. People enjoy fishing and overlooking the lake here. Personally it’s a cooler spot in the summer with the lake breeze to take a break.
Technically it is a part of Murrell Park. To get here you follow the path from the Northshore Trailhead area on N Park Road and go south. Stay on the pavement and it will turn more to gravel and eventually dirt. Watch out for hikers and mountain bikers as you ride to this more secluded area since the Northshore Trail crosses in multiple spots.
During the week it is not uncommon to have a quiet serenity to yourself to listen to the water crash on the rocks. There are no trash cans. Don’t leave your trash as it may not be picked up and will make it worse for everyone who comes after. In the summer I’ve seen it become a party spot in the evenings and you’ll get the dumped beer cans and additional trash.

Sunset Point is a beautiful boardwalk area overlooking Lake Grapevine. It is near the future Hotel Miramar in the Lakeside development a short walk away. You will find locks left on the cable fence however, I do believe they are periodically removed.
They have no bicycle signs however, I’ve always interpreted it as a dismount and don’t ride. A walk a bike area. Respect other pedestrians around. They have a bike rack close by to park bikes at if it is busy. The trail that leads to sunset point has a drinking fountain and a bike repair station outside of the Northshore Trail entrance. Only thing to watch out for is Saturday mornings there are sometimes yoga classes I’ve seen may be seasonal though.
