Description:
The Leon Creek Trail is a tranquil oasis in the northwest corner of San Antonio. The wooded pathway begins at Loop 1604 and winds its way south along the creek. The trail is fairly flat with some gentle slopes.

The pathway is dotted with small ponds, including the Earl Scott Pond near its northern end, which is home to a variety of birds and wildlife. It runs adjacent to many parks, including O.P. Schnabel Park, known for its natural beauty, steep cliffs and many amenities, including athletic fields, picnic tables, nature trails and a YMCA facility.

The northern end of the trail also runs by the San Antonio campus of the University of Texas.

Bike trail actually extends from north (1604 West & I-10) south to Loop 410 & Ingram. It is approximately 12
miles in length by my GPS. Trail is very nice & scenic. It is used by all, bikers, runners, & walkers so be careful of others.
There are several trail head parking areas. With in the next few days I will give names & locations of these areas.
Great hike

Secluded and quiet, gentle hills, smooth surfaces, some narrow points, but simple to get around. Current map is incorrect as the trail has been lengthened on the south side to I410 and north to UTSA. I will attempt to get a better map reading, but a new bike is in order. Walking, running, biking, and geocaching is common along this route, so be careful of others. During very inclement weather, do not attempt to complete as the route often crosses creeks at bed depth. There are a couple of hair pin turns, so care is needed so as not to eat trees. The city is still working the is project, but the where it stands now, I cannot complain. Worth the trip and adventure...
