The MKT/SP Rails to Trails cuts through urban Houston, running between TC Jester Blvd. and Hogan Street (just east of I-45). From the I-45 end, the trail continues along the Heritage Corridor Bayou Trail, which carries on toward downtown, the University of Houston and other bikeways.
The MKT trail is named for the old Missouri, Kansas, Texas Southern Pacific Railroad, and the trail follows part of the abandoned rail bed. You'll also find links to city parks, historical neighborhoods, the White Oak Bayou, and city attractions such as art galleries and museums.
The MKT Trail runs between TC Jester Blvd. (Houston) and the Hogan St. (Houston).

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
Loved this trail. First ride in YEARS. Did a about 7.3 miles. Through the Heights. Loved looking at all of the beautiful homes. The bridge is temporarily shut down. FYI.
