"With its lilypad-covered turtle ponds and strutting peacocks, a visit to Mayfield Nature Preserve will instantly transport you to another, more magical, realm. The entire preserve (which surrounds the popular wedding destination Mayfield-Gutsch Estate), is 24 acres. But the main trail, including a path that takes you down to a breathtaking dock overlooking Lake Austin, is very easy and will only take you about 30 minutes to walk." - Veronica Meewes, Jonathan Thompson
