History:
Lake Tawakoni State Park is a 376.3-acre park in Hunt County with 5.2
miles of shoreline along the south central shore of the main body of
the reservoir. It was acquired in 1984. The park was authorized through
a 50 year lease agreement with the Sabine River Authority, which
operates the 36,700-surface-acre reservoir (at elevation 437.5) and
Iron Bridge Dam, on the headwaters of the Sabine River.
Imagine as you stroll along your
average nature trail and you stumble upon this? How do you react? To
some this is your worst nightmare but to others this is an amazing
micro society just waiting to be explored and studied. I say little
but really compare it to your average spider web....geeeeze! not little!
This web was discovered in August
2007. So how long did it take to make this maticulas marvel you may
ask...the amount of time may astound you. This web was discovered only
after two weeks of absense by the usual park ranger that walks this
trail. Wow what a welcome home present right?!
Inside this web are the homes to 250
species of spiders whom spend lots of hours working and living. If you
