*It's not a real mountain, but the trail does offer a few good views of the lake. Location: Eagle Mountain Park on Eagle Mountain Lake (NW Fort Worth, TX)

Date: 9/4/17

Distance: 8.17 miles

Trails: All of them

Eagle Mountain Lake has some grand homes on the west side and this nice park tucked in on the east side. The park has about 8 miles of trails, give or take a few, and they're quite nice. There are many hills, expansive views, and the trails are generally well maintained. The paths are marked with color coded posts and there are plenty of maps throughout to guide you through. I got there early, thankfully, because as I was wrapping up everyone and their brother was unloading and starting their day. I found many quiet spots, cleared my head, and got some good exercise too. The Shoreline trail is very peaceful with the sounds of wind through leaves and waves gently hitting the land. Starting before 8 AM, I found most areas to be well shaded until about 9-10 AM.
