9/6/24 Tried trail starting at Clark Henry Park and got about 4 miles in down and the bayou trial is washed out and construction blocks any possible way through. Rode back to the Clark Henry park and drove to park across the street from 6999 Alabonson Rd. Got 1.5 miles into ride and after several sections of trail was missing, the entire trail was missing for a longer stretch than I could see. It rained last night and the trail was muddy and impossible to ride. Had to walk some of the way back because of the mud.
Excellent bike trail for first time riders. Just over 6 miles total when you do the loop is perfect! Plenty of room for bikers and walkers. Nice scenery. Saw several different birds, turtles and a snake.
Egret Bay has the best section, 96 (League City Parkway) will soon have more bike paths. Hopefully more to come!
It’s a nice ride but I hate that ppl can’t respect the little nature we have in Houston. It’s has a lower income area around it in some places and it just seems with that ppl don’t respect what little they have.
Totally worth the ride! Scenic, challenging, and peaceful! Absolutely love it!
The trail now extends to Jersey Village. There are still a few short sections that have not been completed.
Beautiful views and access to cool spots at Heights and M-K-T including bars, restaurants, shops, crepe shops, parks, ice cream shops, ebike shop, lots of amazing scenic artwork easter eggs (behind Aztec Events & Tents ¿) if you pay close attention to the secret openings! Cyclists receive 10% discounts at some spots like Highline Park Bar and Juice Land. There's even a bike path to H-E-B and other spots shopping spots along Shepherd. Lots to do around this area
There is an east side of 45 section and a west side of 45. Unfortunately, there is no safe connection between the two sections. You need to ride the 45 access roads on each side, both busy and no bike lanes or sidewalks. Not recommended. And I did not traverse 12 miles of trails. Disappointed. There is potential.
I agree with the 2 other reviews. In addition to lack of safety rest and water stops the illegal dumping of a nice green space is terrible. What is being done about this? I don’t see these problems on Allen Parkway, Memorial Park, or Hermann Park . Not on Braes Bayou either.
The trouble with bike trails in Houston is that Houston doesn’t care about bike trails. That’s why the flood control district and the city will take, literally, years to complete a project. The White Oak trail is one of the latest victims of local government’s abject failure to accomplish anything on a timely basis. Good luck finding out when work will be completed.
