Today, I’m out on the Goodwater Loop again, hiking another section of this beautiful trail in Georgetown, Texas. As you know, I’m a beginner hiker on a journey to get back into hiking, lose weight, and prepare for my ultimate goal—thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Every step I take on these Texas trails is another step closer to making that dream a reality!

If you’re looking for an easy hike north of Austin, this trail is a fantastic option. Walking on top of the dam of Lake Georgetown is part of the Goodwater Loop and offers amazing views of the lake and the town. The Goodwater Loop circles Lake Georgetown and offers a variety of terrain, from rocky sections to shaded woodland paths. This time, I tackled a new section, and I’ll be sharing my experience, challenges, and how this hike fits into my Appalachian Trail training. Whether you're a beginner hiker like me or an experienced backpacker, this trail has something for everyone!

I’ve been focusing on section hiking trails that challenge me without being too overwhelming. The Goodwater Loop is perfect for that because it provides a mix of elevation, technical terrain, and well-maintained paths. Plus, it’s an excellent spot for testing out new gear and improving endurance for long-distance hikes.

If you’re on a weight loss journey like me, hiking is an incredible way to burn calories, build endurance, and stay active while enjoying the outdoors. I’m using these hikes to track my progress and push myself a little further each time. Training for the Appalachian Trail isn’t just about fitness; it’s about learning how to handle different terrains, manage my gear, and get comfortable with longer miles on the trail.

I’ll take you along for the hike and share my thoughts on the terrain, the best spots for scenic views, and any challenges I faced along the way. This section had some gentle inclines, rocky paths, and beautiful stretches along the water. The Texas hiking experience is always unique, and I love discovering new parts of this trail with each hike!

One of the biggest reasons I started this channel was to document my journey from beginner hiker to Appalachian Trail thru-hiker. I hope my experiences help inspire others who are just starting out, whether you’re interested in Texas trails, section hiking, or preparing for your own long-distance adventure.
