Little Elm is a Leave No Trace community. Before you hit one of our parks, trails, or Little Elm Beach, read these tips: 

  • Know before you go. Learn about the trail you're visiting, what to expect, what you will see, and dress appropriately for your trip.

  • Choose the right path. Stay on the main trail and avoid stepping on small trees and wildflowers.

  • Trash your trash. Be sure to take any food and trash with you when you leave to minimize the impact on wildlife and to keep the area beautiful for all users.

  • Leave what you find behind. Leave plants, rocks, and other items as you see them so others can enjoy them, too! Please treat living plants respectfully; do not peel, pick, or cut them.

  • Respect wildlife. It is expected to see wildlife in our parks and trails. Observe animals from a distance; do not approach, feed, or follow them. Please keep your pets on a leash and clean up after them.
