The toilets are kind of sad and depressing here, but there is a map of the trailway and a water hose available nearby for drinking water. It saved my life because I ran out of water on the trail. There is also drinking water available at the Garner Trailhead and the Mineral Wells trailhead. There is a parking lot at the Weatherford Trailhead big enough to fit 20-30 cars. There is a small lake nearby as well.
