People should Stop comparing one beautiful space to another. We’ve biked, hiked, fished, bat, goat and bird watched along this space from a Tidwell/ Wayside access to Brock Park many times. It’s amazing! Each time I go on this trail I notice more amenities have been added. The trails are well maintained without changing its historic wildlife feel. The late evening bike rides or walks are fantastic. More and more families are discovering this oasis right in their backyards! I’m so jealous! It is phenomenal how most of the parks that connect multiple neighborhoods to the trails have been updated as well and allow easy access to this trail. And the older beautiful neighborhoods!!! It’s a sight seeing adventure all on its own. Simply the best built homes ever. The communities along the trail are a mixture of old and new, spacious, well maintained…no wonder suburbia folks are trying to find a spot. We’ve met so many friendly people in various neighborhoods. We’ve been invited to BBQs, offered lemonade and even invited to pick fresh fruit and vegetables from a couple’s backyard garden! Back on the trail…there’s an old railroad track that is the best photo op ever. And sparrows live there too! The sparrows look like bats, but We’ve watched them come to roost like bats in the evening. Beautiful! Did I mention the goats grazing on the hilltop on Saturday mornings? Also, one of the neighbors attached a single seat swing on this 20 foot tall branch and when you swing in it it feels like you’re swinging out over Halls Bayou. Phenomenal trail! We’ve added Halls Bayou Trails to our regular trail rotation which includes White Oak and Buffalo Bayous. Go!
I'm staying at the Marriott Courtyard off of Main and Braeswood Blvd. I wanted to get a work out in and avoid the hotel gym and realized I could get on this trail with a short walk from my hotel. It's definitely an urban trail, but I enjoyed it. Spotted wildflowers, ducks, fish, and passed other walkers, runners, and bikers. All in all, recommend!
We live down the the street, and there’s a Park at the end. And the trail actually passes right through the Park. So we decided to ride our bikes on the trail one evening, and it was lovely
This trail is more for transportation across third ward and not the best for biking. The constant stops for traffic make it impossible to get a good flow going
We routinely ride I-59 to just past I-45 and back. 33 miles rolling terrain with great views of the river. Careful on the weekends as there can be a lot of people and some are clueless to trail etiquette.
What a wonderful trail! I rode the Spring Creek Greenway in mid March on perfect 75 degree sunny day. The trail is curvy with gentle hills and totally wooded and shaded. You couldn't ask for a better trail, it's wide, smooth, and scenic. On the Trail Link map it shows a disconnect but when I rode it the entire trail was paved with no gaps. I don't think 5 stars is sufficient!

Rode about 8 miles of the trail near the west end. It more than lived up to my expectations from reviews and youtube vids. Easy to access from our hotel at the Marriott Courtyard. Way better than any trail we have back home in Wichita.
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.
Not much to look at if that is your thing.
If you start this trail at the Milby Park trailhead, it will continue, unbroken for more than 20miles one way. The current map is outdated and incomplete. The trail is great, always with a breeze as it runs along the bayou with gentle slopes sing lots of flora and fauna along the way. The only confusion is where you must cross over into the other side before Scott St.
