While biking near the spillway, saw a Limpkin with White Ibises. Nice area. Wish it connected to George Bush Park trails.
The trail now extends to Jersey Village. There are still a few short sections that have not been completed.
Our hike at Paseo de la Resaca today was awesome! Here's what you need to know if you plan on taking these trails. . • the trails wind in and out of neighborhoods. There are lots of people, families, dogs, and wide paved paths. I felt really safe even being separated from the group. . .Good for walking, running , biking &, skating. . • Trail length is 7mi. • • today was perfect weather. But I imagine the heat gets a little ridiculous when the sun is out. . .There are water stations but few and far between. . .bathrooms are ONLY at the beginning of the trail and they are GROSS . So, if you drank coffee before your hike... may want to do your biz at home before you go... . . when you're headed back towards the parking area on the opposite side of the resaca, the trail only cuts back over at Paredes Line Rd. We made the mistake of going under the overpass thinking the trail would cross back over to the parking area but it didn't and we had to walk back to paredes and cross over. It was very scenic and relaxing. Lots of ducks & and birds. Pretty quiet even though it's in a busy area.
I was in town on business and was looking for a place to walk/run. This was pretty close to the hotel. It was an easy path that was well lit even after dark. It’s down the wide median through a neighborhood. Great use of the space! People were friendly and the neighborhood is nice.
Longview is listed to have three trails, Cargill, Guthrie and Boorman. This is true BUT all three connect seamlessly!! You can bike from one end to the other making for a 10 mile one way trip or 20 miles round trip! The trails are beautifully landscaped and cared for with benches and workout stations. Highly populated with beautiful cardinals and an occasional bunny rabbit. Green grass beautiful and always mowed length of Boorman trail and Guthrie Trail. Trail is wide concrete on these two. Cargill portion has many more hills, but is also beautiful, but asphalt surface. These trails are so shady and therefore beautiful in the

We came all the way from Pennsylvania to ride on a nice trail in the Amarillo Area and were very disappointed. We found the trail (or at least saw it) from a road that runs parallel to it. Unfortunately we rode almost its entire length in our car but found no parking. None at all. Very disappointing. Would recommend riding at other trails in Texas.
On September 20, 2023 we drove to the Wildcat Bluff Nature Center on N. Soncy Road in search of the trail head and parking. There was major construction going on related to the new highway loop. It was difficult to even get to the nature center. When we arrived we talked with the woman who worked there. She told us that the trail no longer existed and that it had been engulfed by the new roadway. We were quite disappointed and would recommend that this trail be taken from the Rails to Trails Conservancy web site. Perhaps there will be a replacement or enhancement in the future. My advice........look for another trail in Texas.
It’s a shame Amarillo has allowed the Rock Island Rail Trail to be overtaken by the city’s homeless. The rail trail used to be a convenient and safe location for bicyclists, walkers, and runners. That is no longer true. There are too many homeless people sleeping on the benches or in tents alongside the trail, blocking the trail with their carts, and leaving behind their garbage. I no longer find it enjoyable to use the trail, and I don’t feel safe anymore.
Trail is nice but not my favorite. Too many intersections causing a lot of stop and go. Felt more like I was riding in the city streets. Once you get up to good speed it's time to slow down and stop at another intersection.
