Lenox Woods is a beautiful treat at anytime of the year but in the fall it just sparkles with brilliant colors.

Situated on Pecan Bayou, one of the largest wild watersheds in northeast Texas, the Lenox Woods Preserve is one of the most beautiful old-growth forests in the state. The uplands support mature shortleaf pine and oak forest while moist lowlands support bottomland hardwood forest. In a few minutes I counted six species of oak, three species of pine as well as numerous other hardwoods. It is also a refuge for several rare plants. There are at least sixty species of birds that inhabit the preserve as well as deer and a few black bears.

When I visited the preserve yesterday, the weather was cold, bright, clear and crisp with a beautiful deep blue sky; the perfect fall day. I think this is a wonderful place to visit year round but saw no sign of any trail activity other than my own. I will definitely go back in the spring to see a completely different place.
