Only climb this if you climb Mount Bonell 10 times in a row without a break!! Jacobs ladder is extremely steep and the steps are not all equal in size.

Steps are easy and fun to go up and down on, but by the 5th one your energy slowly starts to leave your body, great for building endurance.

The steps are uneven heights but most anyone can enjoy climbing Jacobs ladder to enjoy the view of the river from above. Playground and bathrooms at the top, follow path to the left to find both.

This is one steep climb of 88 steps of various heights. There are cedar post rails along most of the sides. We were up to the challenge and made it to the top and back.

Cameron Park is a great place to go for a fun family outing you can go on trails have a picnic by the river or you can go to workout. Jacobs ladder is one spot that is great for working out. The steep steps activates every part of your body whether you are walking or running you will get a full body workout. And its a great place to go to have fun while working out and not be stuck in a stuffy old gym.

I adore Jacobs Ladder! My husband and I got married here. I came down the ladder and met him and the Preacher at the foot, and we exchanged our vows. It has always been a special place for me. I took pics there when my niece and nephews were very little, and have done the re-creation pics twice since then I recommend Jacobs Ladder for family fun, excercize and special occasions.

Cameron Park is unique place. Used to live in Waco and spend a lot of time. They have excellent trails to run and bike along the Brazos River and many other things that will draw your attention including amazing views from the top of the cliffs overlooking the park.

Review №32

Great park with beautiful scenic bike and walking trails. Several playground locations for families with TWO Disc Golf courses located on either side of The Brazos River. Great place to enjoy nature or let off some steam.

Was cool before it got modernized. Now its just another stairway.

Review №34

Steep! Very steep! It is a short climb. You have to lift your legs up much higher than normal to gain the next step.There are two places to sit and rest a moment if you need to.

Al
Review №35

Always a good workout going up and down. You can do it just for fun but you would just have to slow your pace down. Definitely something to try out tho.

Cameron Park is awesome in general and Jacobs Ladder is most definitely a jewel in its crown. The winding steps are a bit steep for children or people of age, but if youre a bit of a daredevil the view from the top is worth it. Conversely the rest of the family can drive around and meet you at the top to share in your accomplishment.
