Print Friendly MapThe Azalea Trail offers glimpses of nature as it follows Hurricane Creek through the heart of Lufkin, an small east Texas city. Along the way, you'll enjoy views of native plants and small gardens, and may see numerous bird species, including owls, woodpeckers, and warblers.
Although just under 2 miles, the trail connects two well-loved community parks. On its north end, much of Kiwanis Park is wooded. Here, you'll find a disc golf course and picnic areas. On its southern end, the larger Grace Dunne Richardson Park offers a wealth of recreational opportunities, including a playground, basketball and volleyball courts, and a soccer field.
You'll also be able to access two retail areas: Angelina Village Shopping Center and the Lufkin Mall.
Parking is available at either end of the trail: in Kiwanis Park (Timberland Drive and S. First Street) and at Grace Dunne Richardson Park (200 Mott Drive).
Walked about half of this trail today (midweek/mid morning). Was not crowed at all and was not a bad trail. Is paved and could be used for jogging, walking or biking. The only negative point I have is the creek that runs alongside the path has a lot of trash in it. Some looks like people are just throwing their trash into the creeks as they walk the trail and other trash looks to have been carried down the creek when water levels were high. There were not many garbage cans available along the trail for people to properly dispose of their trash ¿¿. Other then that eye sore, the trail was pleasant to walk.
Good trail for jogging
