A mountain lion was sighted at Cedar Hill State Park on December 25, 2008 by a park ranger. There have been numerous sightings of coyotes and bobcats during the month of January 2009. Now is a good time, during the off season, to come out to the park and view wildlife. The temperatures have been moderate enough so that even tent campers can enjoy the outdoors this winter. Cedar Hill State Park is located just 10 miles southwest of Dallas, Texas.

I am a regular visitor to Cedar Hill State Park and assistant trail steward for the bike trails. I was in the park on January 29, 2009 around 5:30 PM when I spotted a small mountain lion at the creek/road intersection near the Duck Pond Trail. It looked to weigh about 60-70 pounds or so. There was no mistaking it for a bobcat. Definitely a mountain lion! Beautiful sight to see!
