I rode this trail a week ago from the mission trail with goal of looping around OLLU and back to add mileage to the mission trail. It was empty except homeless people under bridges, some covered with sheets, giving the experience a bit of the macabre. I turned around and won't go back until usage is up.
We always start at Hardberger Park. We ride the trail to Huebner Rd and turn around ride past the park to ride all the way to Holbrook near the National Guard. On this trail you do have several streets crossings to continue on the trail. When you get to Holbrook you are riding on the road and I normally turn around at the RR tracks. You can continue on this route to Jack White Park and continue down to SouthLions park. You are riding on the Frontage road to Jack White Park and the way back is a little tricky from Jack White and Holbrook road. That RR track is active and a stops on the Holbrook crossing then you are stuck until it moves forward. RT from Huebner Rd to the RR tracks is 32 miles. If you go all the way to South Lions & back add 18 miles to the 32
Great scenery and very few road crossings. The northern end of the trail has been extended for about one mile. The signage is a bit confusing, with little branches coming off the main trail.
We rode 9 miles on the Salado Creek Greenway today. We got on the trail at Ladybird Johnson trail. The temperature was great for January but the scenery was still kind of bleak. I'm sure the trail will be gorgeous in a few months. Can't wait to use the trail again. Wonderful trail.
We start at Rosevelt Park. It is 18 miles of rolling hills along listening to the river and seeing wildlife. A new shoot have been added - Apache Creek way to the Mission trails. It is out and back but I wouldn't ride it by myself because surrounding area it goes through. I have seen trail stewards riding it but not park police
There is the concrete trail for road bikes and dirt trails for mountain bikes. The concrete trail is 24 miles from I-10 Druary Inn to Ingram with some shoots off (out&back) to add more miles. There is a lot of dirts trails that are smooth single track and there are some rocky areas too. Level from beginner to intermidate rider.
I enjoyed my bike ride, this is a nice trail. I got a great workout and was able to see some beautiful scenery. I felt safe, there are volunteer riders/workers, and also a group of police that came through.
I've run and biked the trail between Heubner and Ft Sam several times and really enjoy it! On long bike rides (round trip almost 35 mi if you detour through McAlister Park) it's nice to stop at MoMak's (just North of McAlister Park) for munchies and beer :) I biked the whole South segment from Lions Park to the Jack White trailhead today and it was beautiful and peaceful! I just wish there was a good way to connect the two segments of the trail around Ft Sam - that would make it 5+ stars.
I decided to make the trip to this trail instead of my regular Leon Creek ride. I suspected few people would be out there and I was correct. Just 3 other cars when I arrived around 8:00 am. Nice and cool, but getting a little humid on Sunday morning. I have a fixed-speed road bike that is fine for Leon Creek, Salado and the Mission trails. But it was quite a challenge on those switchbacks! I could ride some, but admit I had to walk my bike up 3 of them. There are signs posted stating to walk your bike, so I will be more observant of these when I go again. Also, there was some leftover silt from the recent rains, which slowed me down, but nothing dangerous. Nonetheless, it was a great ride and extremely peaceful out there! I stopped a few times to rest, walk my bike or just take in the scenery. I could only hear birds, the water from the flowing river, the breeze through the tall trees and best of all - no noise from cars! I saw just 3 other bikers and they all had mountain bikes (duh). Next time I will take my mountain bike so I can explore a bit more and make those switchbacks without stopping. If you're getting bored with Leon Creek or the other trails and need a challenge, then check out this trail.
I just discovered Segment 3 from Jack White headed South. Parking is under thick, tall oaks. One of the best bike rides and nice and long... Thick, tall trees most of the way, gentle hilly bike path with neat turns, and salado creek next to you. Like another reviewer, I was approached by park police about the curfew. I agree this is annoying as he honked his park vehicle horn to track me down. Why isn't curfew posted? Maybe approaching people like this gives the park police something to do. Otherwise, probably in the top 2 most enjoyable rides.
We biked the trail this morning. Started at Conception Park and rode south. The park was a little sketchy. Several stray/loose dogs running around but they didn't bother us. Sad to see though. The trail itself was awesome! Beautiful scenery! At the end of the trail, where it loops around and comes back up the other side of the river, was a little confusing. This part was gravel and we got off on the wrong trail and had to turn around. We ended up crossing back over to the other side of the river and riding the same side we rode down on but that was only because we didn't have time to explore. It seemed as though it's well patrolled and used by many. There are some rolling hills but nothing too strenuous. Definitely looking forward to coming back this fall and exploring more of the trail. Absolutely recommend it.
