A hidden getaway from the city, Lago de Claire is a 1.3 mile loop with spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars Atmosphere - La Villita is a Spanish themed mixed-use neighborhood. There are apartments, town homes, parks, and single family homes. Right in the middle is Lago de Claire. On a cool, weekday evening or weekend morning, the lake is full of people and energy. You'll find families, runners, walkers, and people of all cultures. 1 Star. Service - The only service here is cell phone service, and it's good. 1 Star. Lake - I love walking around the lake every day. There's a gazebo on the north end of the lake, which is a great gathering/resting spot, and it overlooks the lake. On the east end are the canals, and you'll find several ducks or birds depending on the season. There's also a small square with two dancing statues. This is a very popular space for gathering and is especially busy in the evenings. I love walking around Lago de Claire at different times of days and take photos of the sunrise, sunset, and lake itself. Bonus - if you play Pokémon Go there is a gym here. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I walk around the lake everyday depending on the time. It's the best part of this hidden neighborhood and a great place to visit. 1 Star.

Still the best of the best in the city of Irving! I mean let's be real the nature trails are one of…read morethe reasons why I still reside in this wonderfully diverse city. Despite the constant flooding that occurs in the area when it rains, I feel like they still do what they can to make sure they keep up the park. They've actually expanded the width of the sidewalks which is great for the rapidly growing area. They've also added a flower garden for those who want to sightsee. The pavilion is also kept up nicely, be sure to arrive early because it is constantly being used by large groups for events and etc. The one thing I do wish they had along this part of the trail are bathrooms and better water fountains. But it's great if you like to stay active with biking and running and there is plenty of parking and it does feel safe for the most part. Spring/ early summer is a great time of year to go and check it out, stay cool under the shaded trees and enjoy nature!

Entering is as easy as scanning the QR code provided when entering the park and typing in your car license plate. As of June 2025, the entrance fee was $10, and this was on a weekend if that matters. Inside the park the car parking is very limited and to get a spot you either get lucky or just have to wait for other cars to leave. To prevent anyone trying to park illegal they positioned big rocks on the grass. There is a playground with swings and slides and multiple pavilions with shade. There is a small fishing pier and a beach like waterfront for swimming and fishing. We decided to try our luck and cast our rods out in the lake and surprisingly we caught a 3lb catfish within 10 minutes. We stayed about 2 hours and just got bites but nothing else. There are restrooms onsite and they have water fountains but when I was there, they were not working. There is a boat dock to release your boats and jet skis out in the water and while we were there, they had a good amount of people out in the water with their boats. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and will most likely return in the future for some fishing and hanging out with the family.

This little vibrant bay is full of life! LOTS of feet run, walk, stroll, waddle, paddle, swim, clutch and just stand. Okay, some of the feet are paws including the dogs, cats, coyotes and bobcats. The wet feet include the many species of ducks, geese, and frogs! There are some serious raptor feet with the many hawks, owls, falcons, kestrels and we can't forget Nick and Nora's Eagle claws! Way too many bird feet to count! But let's get back to the geese (or as I incorrectly like to say, gooses). There are Chinese Whites, Chinese Browns, Canadas, Grays and sometimes a Snow or 3! Plus more quaking ducks than I care to count... Under the water are a lot of footless finny fish. There are some big catfish in this bay that like to follow the swimming fowls. We won't disgust ourselves and talk about what the catfish are eating that these birds deposit in the water... I will say these are some very fat catfish! In the evening, the frogs will croak you into submission! The bulls, tree and a toad or two. The signs say do not feed the birds and ducks and geese (gooses :) ), but I like to pass down memories I had as a kid. I let the granddaughters each toss crumpled up whole wheat bread pieces to the plumb water fowl (or very alert 5-10 pound yellow catfish). If you want to watch nature in action, keep an eye on the cormorants. When Nick and Nora, the Bald Eagles circle over head, the cormorants scatter in all directions! On wing and/or diving into the muddy water. KIDS are thrilled to come here, photographers line up, Coyotes camp out in the bushes waiting on a fresh winged meal. Oh, smile at the silent stalking bobcat who is quite silly thinking it can snatch a duck snack within a few feet of dogs, runners, and strollers!
