Corpus Christi Bay Trail

not a trail

It’s a bike lane on a busy street

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

Scenic bike lanes & trails

December, 2023 by wegot2go

Stated at Ennis Joslin Road and rode north to downtown area. Wide bike lanes adjacent to 40mph traffic with considerate drivers. Nice parks along the way to ride through with our favorite being Cole Park, which had a nice pier you can walk on, no riding allowed.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

Excellent Ride, but not a Trail

January, 2023 by warlock68

The northern part of this route can be done on a segregated roadway away from vehicles, but you will move to roadway riding along the ocean side street. It’s been re-paved along major stretches, and has good bike lanes. Drivers are considerate of cyclists and give a good leeway for driving safety. The Texas A&M camper has a cycling pathway that goes around the campus and serves as a good way to reverse course and head back to the truck. Plenty of coastal parks to visit, as well as places to eat.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

Not a Trail

September, 2022 by leelhirondelle

This is not a trail, it is merely a white line separating the rider from heavy, speeding fast traffic. There are no rumble strips or other safety measures for the biker. The small part closer to downtown has lots of foot traffic, people with dogs, kids etc.. that one has to be very careful off. It shouldn't be listed as a trail when its not.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

bad timing

1/226/21 Don’t do it. Major road construction underway, uncertain completion date.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

Great ride along waterfront

October, 2020 by alexmimholz

started at the north end near the American Bank Center. dedicated bike/walking path along the waterfront until the southern end of Cole park where it ends at a 4 lane road. no sidewalk or protection from traffic so we turned around. total ride is about 10 miles round trip.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

Disappointing

November, 2018 by warrenvs

We parked in the southernmost parking lot & biked north. The 1st 3.5 miles is a bike lane with a few pull offs at parks. The northern part of the trail was much nicer. The bike lanes are fairly wide, but if you're like us & don't care for road riding i suggest you start at the North end.

Running in Beautiful Corpus, "Trail" More a City Tour than Trail de Jure

September, 2018 by provolkswagen

I began a run at a North Beach hotel and ran over the the John F. Kennedy Memorial Causeway to link up with the Corpus "Bay Trail." I ran it for about 7 miles and will say that most of my time was spent on the asphalt of the bicycle lane. If I rated this a "trail" I'd give it as low scores as the others. But love the sights, sounds, smells, and "feel" of the ocean, even the unique urban/suburban qualities of this trail. True, the city and it's life is to one's immediate left or right (running to or from), but then the Gulf and it's wonders are on the other side. I love this town! I would hope I could one day live in Corpus, so naturally I'm biased. I did a 14 miles total today that brought me nothing but pure joy.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

City on one side, CC Bay on the other.

November, 2016 by jeradjohnston

Just a heads up, this really isn't what I would call a "trail". It is going to be mainly sidewalk, some of it along the seawall, and some asphalt bike lanes. You will have the bay on one side and a busy/major, 4-lane thoroughfare on the other side the whole ride.

The portion from American Bank Center, all along the seawall, to the beach is quite busy and crowded, being mostly commercial. But it will thin out after Cole Park. Where it turns into Ocean Dr. and is residential, with lots of VERY nice, upscale homes. This is the nicer part of the "trail" to me.

I used to roller blade this area a lot years ago, but I don't visit the area often anymore. It is worth noting too, that this area is currently undergoing major changes. Shoreline Blvd., the street paralleling the first half of the ride, has been re-aligned and moved away from the "trail" for a stretch near the beach. Ocean Dr. is also being reconstructed, as it was in bad condition. Once all of this construction is clear, the area will be much nicer.

Still, I prefer to get out of the city-scape for my rides & runs. So, this is too urban for me to really enjoy.

Sunset Lake Park Trail

Very scenic

June, 2015 by 5peaks

Nice paved trail with plenty of bird species for viewing. Very scenic area.

Corpus Christi Bay Trail

Too many ROUGH bike lane miles

February, 2015 by tadams61

We started this "trail" at the Northern End (Art Center). Things were fine along that stretch. However, once out of the park we were directed across a 4 lane, divided highway (Ocean Drive) to the bike lane. Although the car roadways were pretty smooth, the bike lines were like riding on rumble strips all the way. Road maintenance along Ocean Drive is only for cars, nothing is done to improve the bike lanes.

This "trail" shouldn't even be called a "trail" it's a "bike route", out in traffic for the majority of the miles. We drove all the way from Rockport and it WASN'T worth the trip!
