Dinosaur Footprints in the Mud: Eons ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, they left their footprints in the mud along the shore of an ancient ocean. Later, those tracks were covered with sediment and then hardened. Today, those tracks have been uncovered and lie in the bottom of the Paluxy river which is located a short ways southwest of Forth Worth, Texas.

The 2016 Journey, Dinosaur Valley Campground
First and foremost, if you want to see the dinosaur tracks, that is the real ones in the Pauley river bottom and not just the re-created ones in the visitors center, you can not come here during the winter season because this season is normally wet and the tracks are all covered with the high river level.
Methinks, the time to see these tracks in the river is during the dry summer and early fall.
