A very nice short trail that leads to a great view! I would recommend this trail to anyone starting out hiking and anyone who wants to see a up too view. They have 3 levels of difficulty. The restrooms here are a port-a-potty. The hike goes up so expect uphill walking but the easiest difficulty makes it a breeze. They also have some water fountains that also have easy access for pets to drink! There are also picnic tables.

I love this park. I have been coming here since 2006. Plenty of shade even when its hot out. The comanche trail really works your hamstrings. Variety of wildlife to see..rabbits, geckos, butterflies, birds. Nice vegetation. Benches...a couple of picnic areas and a playground by the Semmes Library.

Comanche Lookout Park is an absolute gem! The park offers 4.55 miles of well-maintained paved and unpaved trails, catering to various fitness levels with easy to moderate difficulty. I enjoyed a great workout while taking in the beautiful natural surroundings. The lookout and tower spots are especially cool, offering stunning views and a perfect spot for a break or photo op. Its a fantastic place for a hike, run, or leisurely stroll. Highly recommend visiting this park for a refreshing outdoor experience! Dog-friendliness: Dogs must be kept on a leash

Wide paved trails through a lovely wooded area. Get to the top of Commanche Lookout for an amazing view of downtown. Id like to see more interactive trail displays that provide a history of the turret, elevation at the top of the lookout, and info on the art pieces. But even without that stuff, the park is wonderful. Playground: Nice shaded playground next to the library Dog-friendliness: Lots of pups on the trails.

COMANCHE LOOKOUT PARK is in my neighborhood where one can enter park from one of THREE ENTRANCES: Nacodoches Road, Judson Road or Fox Run. Start my daily walk from the Nacogdoches entrance which is only a few blocks from my house 5 X week. The 2 other days start at the most beautiful entrance off of Judson Rd near the Julia Yates Semmes Library. Where trails, upgrades & improvements are more abundant. FACILITIES & AMENITIES: Plenty of parking. An impressive Childrens Playground. A porta-John. There is a Pavilion at entrance with the history of park & trails etched on mounted plaques. Signs posted with rules governing use of park, leashing of pets, Free dog poop bags & restrictions, give credit to those organizations which have adopted the park, etc. ROUTE of The Library Loop Trail. It starts on the LIbrary grounds, forks, & loops around meeting up with Comanche Trail before reconnecting with the Library Loop on the other side. On this trail alone are an outdoor classroom pavilion, nine all-weather exercise machines, water fountains for man & beast. & two picnic areas, two benches. All vegetation is native to Texas. Possibly on your walk, run or bike you will see a deer or two, many rabbits, possums. Smell or see a skunk. Only seen one non-poisonous snake in 4 years of walking every day. The crown of the park is the tower atop Lookout Mountain. A good view awaits you there. Elevations along the marked trails are low grade, not steep & can easily be ascended with a limp. Some walkers take non-marked side trails because they are more natural and challenging in exploring the park & climbing to the top. A beautiful natural park for all ages, families and pets. The City Park Service, the Police, Scout organizations, & those who frequently use the park are doing an excellent job maintaing, providing security, & pickup. Upgrades of trails & related parking lots are evident. To complement tower at the top are a number of beautiful stone sculptures. Highly recommend Comanche Lookout Park for family hikes, picnics & outings. Happy to see more people using the park. No longer walk alone.. Numbers of people & animals using park have increased dramatically. Dog-friendliness: Dogs are welcomed to park as evident by their masters who walk them here. Instructions are posted at two major entrances regulating master /dog conduct. Poop bags are available without charge.
