Summer break is the perfect time to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There may be a place for you to getaway right here in San Marcos. Lindsay Powell has more in this Bobcat Update.

Purgatory Creek is a 570-acre natural park in San Marcos. It is home to hiking trials, scenic views and a cave. It is also a nesting habitat for the endangered golden cheeked warbler. Some hikers like to visit the trails to spend
quality time time with their pets.
SB: It's just relaxing. I go with my dog. She's kinda rowdy. She likes to run around.
Others enjoy how seclusive the park is.
SB: You get to see the wildlife we have here in San Marcos that's kinda tucked away and some people don't know that it's out here.
Some students even find connections to their area of study by exploring the park.
SB: I get to see what I'm studying. It's like a real world application of what I learned in class.
The park has three different areas: Prospect Park, Upper, and Lower Purgatory. It is free to all users.
Standup: The Purgatory Creek trails offer San Marcans a chance to escape their busy lives and enjoy nature at its finest. For Bobcat Update, I'm Lindsay Powell.
