I rode the Trinity Forest and AT&T trail on a weekday in early April 2025. It was a very windy day but there is a lot of cover and shade. There were some flooded low points but very passable. I saw only 4 hikers in the 19 miles I rode. I highly recommend checking this trail out. This is a super trail that deserves 5 stars!

I road the Waxahachie Creek trail in early April 2025 on a beautiful sunny day. This is a short but great trail. It is smooth cement the entire way mostly winding through woods. I am not sure that it's quite six miles. A very enjoyable trail that I rate FIVE stars!

An all paved flat trail makes this a ride for all abilities. Goes through some very busy areas- but all crossings have excellent crossing signals that allow for safe access to cross. Nice to see neighborhoods but really enjoyed the “countryside” and open spaces. Highly recommend stopping at the Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park Visitor Center. Learned a great deal about the Mexican - American War. Disappointed that the many historical markers were no longer able to be read (too weathered). We drove to Brownsville from South Padre Island just to ride the trail and so glad we did. An enjoyable bike ride on a sunny (and very windy) day!
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!

Parked at Trailblazer Park. Nice and peaceful walk. Just enough nature for children or those not too adventurous. Bridge is a must-see. Seems nice for solo or group walks.

Cyclists ringing their bells at me when I’m already on the far right is SO irritating! It IS noise pollution!!! Don’t ring hell’s bells at pedestrians who are already on the proper side of the trail!
Great spot lots of activity on off of the trail.
There is a definite need for longer bike rides in Corpus Christi. There is a nice short ride on Oso Parkway from Weber to Staples and then to the Botanical Garden. Another nice ride is at the Oso Wetlands located at Holly and North Oso Parkway.
It's a direct trail between 2 good routes. There are street crossings, and there can be mud in wet weather. It's very good for normal commuting, but I would not bring kids who aren't comfortable with traffic.
