My first and all time favorite bike trail in Houston. Public art installations along the path, water features, dog park, beautiful people & beautiful skyline view. ¿
This is a lovely bike trail where you only encounter occasional pedestrians. The only downside is a narrow overpass bridge which makes me nervous but it’s, generally speaking, very safe and it’s great that it connects with Bush park. No need to cross roads, etc. I highly recommend it.
I Agree with the construction comments. Should have read the reviews before driving 2 hours to ride. The Hockley Street trailhead starts the trail from the east but suddenly stops due to construction. I would advise not trying to start from this location. We took streets to the Mason Park (South 75th Street) trailhead to get back onto the the trail from there westbound it was hit and miss with the construction. Some places could use better signage for what way to go on the detours. For the most part the trail was concrete and asphalt. There were places in need of repair that was rough and if caught you off guard you could take a spill. The traffic on the the trail was very light due to overcast skies, windy, and being a Friday. Overall not a bad days ride and getting out of the house.
Unless you are a local Houstonian, I would not recommend this trail at this time. I met many obsticles and managed to go around, by walking thru mud, hitting a street for about 500 feet and navigating thru barriers. So I suggest NOGO if you are coming from out of town.
And very few signs. It was difficult to follow the route in several locations. It’s still a work in progress
Lovely on a crisp Fall Saturday. A bit busy. But everyone deserves a lovey Saturday
I was looking to do a bike run on this trail this weekend. Since I have a road bike with slimmer tires is this trail concrete or is it gravel? Concerned about punctures since I’m new to riding. Also is the construction ongoing?
Alligators, flooding and potholes.
Nasty park. Flooded every here. Roads in need of repair. Crocodiles on the path.
This is a nice quiet trail in Houston. Watch for flooding after a heavy rainfall.
Very good trail, you can start at beltway 8 and bike pretty far. There are many paths for all types of riders.
