Traveler Guide to Harker Heights, TX
Harker Heights is a city in Central Texas.
Chalk Ridge Falls is billed as a 5 mile trail system on the South East end of Stillwell Dam. The hike will take you past two streams and along the Lampasas River. After the first mile or two, the trail becomes clogged with vegetation. Still, it's a good tottle if you are just out to kill a morning. Bring your bathing suit if it has recently been raining as the creeks will be up and could make for a good, quick dip.
Stay away from the night clubs in the Harker Heights area. They are generally full of Soldiers from Fort Hood Texas, just a few miles away.
