Berry Springs Park

While researching a new listing, I discovered one of Georgetown's best kept secrets, Berry Springs Park and Preserve. It opened October 2005 and is hidden just east of Georgetown off County Road 152.

The park is utilized for passive recreational activities and features playgrounds, barbecue grills, picnic tables and pavilions which can be rented. Berry Springs provides a fresh water lake for fishing. There are camp sites and hike and bike trails which may eventually be connected to the Georgetown park and receration trails. The park has a large, serene pecan grove with stately Pecan and Oak trees. There are clean restrooms.

According to the park website, it was named after John Berry, a veteran of the War of 1812, who settled on this land in 1846. He built a spring-driven grist mill, blacksmith and gun shop. Some of the buildings of the Berry farm are preserved on the park grounds. There is a small family cemetery also located within the park

My visits to the park have been extremly pleasant and the park is certainly not crowded.

Two RV parks, Berry Springs RV Park and New Life RV Park, are located within two miles of Berry Springs Park and Preserve.
