The Lake is East of US75.  From West, North or South take Mockingbird Lane East from US75. Just before Buckner Blvd make a sharp right turn, right after crossing the bridge (there will be a sign), go down the hill till it dead ends. Go left (watch for runners and cyclists), past the sail boats till you see a cabin on the left that saysBig Thicket.  They have rest room facilities and a water fountain. You can follow the yellow line all the way around the lake on an asphalt trail, or on the side in the dirt/grass. Water fountains are placed all the way around.  Do watch for cyclists--they ride fast and some are not runner friendly. The loop is slightly over nine miles. Many NTTR members run from the Big Thicket every Sunday morning starting at 6-7am, depending on the season and the distance to be run. They run anywhere from 9 to 20 miles. The longer loops go into the surrounding neighborhoods, and a bottle is necessary. There are some good climbs on the longer loops.
