Hey Hikers! Check Out The Creepiest Trail In Texas, Just Three Hours From Midland

Who doesn't love a creepy adventure? If you are a hiker and you love creepy this is right up your alley.  We all pass through Cisco on I-20 headed to Dallas, but who knew it would be such an adventure? Cisco, TX is home to the  Old Zoo Nature Trails.

Old Zoo Nature Trails, consist of two different hiking trails, but you don't have to be a professional hiker to enjoy these trails. Each trail is less than a mile long and has an elevation gain of less than 150 feet. The trails will take you through a zoo that was built in the 1920s and later abandoned after a few bizarre things happened. According to Only In Your State:

 

The zoo itself wasn't very big and it didn't have a ton of animals but vacationers still came to see it because had a cottage campground with a resort-style pool. After reports of a bear being poisoned and the death of a deer, the zoo quickly began to decline. The pool and campground remained open into the 1970s but the cages were unkept and nature began to take them over. In 2021 a non-profit group, SAFE, Students, Athletes, Families, and Education took over the area and began to clean it up and turn the property into a hiking area.
