The Cottonbelt Trail in Waco is finally officially open. We had some trouble actually locating the trail heads because there are no signs. We parked in the TXDOT area off Old Lorena Road which is at mid-point. This is not currently an official parking lot for the trail, but it should be.

We headed toward the "landfill" end and it curves under Old Lorena Road and ends at the landfill.

We walked back to the car at old Lorena road and continued on to the Harris Creek end of the trail. We walked out to the road to find a road sign to get an idea of where we were.

We walked around the circular walking path at that trail head before heading back to Old Lorena road.

When we finished our walk we drove down Church Road and came to Harris Creek. Turning onto Harris Creek we came to the "Trailblazer" Trailhead.

We then attempted to drive to the landfill trailhead. We turned off Hwy 84 toward the Lehigh Cement Plant and took and immediate right onto Hannah Hill Road. When we got to the landfill there is a gravel road to the right. Go just a few feet and turn left onto a paved entry to the trailhead parking lot.
