People should Stop comparing one beautiful space to another. We’ve biked, hiked, fished, bat, goat and bird watched along this space from a Tidwell/ Wayside access to Brock Park many times. It’s amazing! Each time I go on this trail I notice more amenities have been added. The trails are well maintained without changing its historic wildlife feel. The late evening bike rides or walks are fantastic. More and more families are discovering this oasis right in their backyards! I’m so jealous! It is phenomenal how most of the parks that connect multiple neighborhoods to the trails have been updated as well and allow easy access to this trail. And the older beautiful neighborhoods!!! It’s a sight seeing adventure all on its own. Simply the best built homes ever. The communities along the trail are a mixture of old and new, spacious, well maintained…no wonder suburbia folks are trying to find a spot. We’ve met so many friendly people in various neighborhoods. We’ve been invited to BBQs, offered lemonade and even invited to pick fresh fruit and vegetables from a couple’s backyard garden! Back on the trail…there’s an old railroad track that is the best photo op ever. And sparrows live there too! The sparrows look like bats, but We’ve watched them come to roost like bats in the evening. Beautiful! Did I mention the goats grazing on the hilltop on Saturday mornings? Also, one of the neighbors attached a single seat swing on this 20 foot tall branch and when you swing in it it feels like you’re swinging out over Halls Bayou. Phenomenal trail! We’ve added Halls Bayou Trails to our regular trail rotation which includes White Oak and Buffalo Bayous. Go!
It’s a nice ride but I hate that ppl can’t respect the little nature we have in Houston. It’s has a lower income area around it in some places and it just seems with that ppl don’t respect what little they have.
I agree with the 2 other reviews. In addition to lack of safety rest and water stops the illegal dumping of a nice green space is terrible. What is being done about this? I don’t see these problems on Allen Parkway, Memorial Park, or Hermann Park . Not on Braes Bayou either.
I agree with the first comment, this trail is 3 miles of only a few rest areas, minimal to none break exits, and is somewhat quite isolated not to have any law enforcement.
It is however, a good trail for this part of Houston and scenery, although, I would suggest having protection and/or a companion during any walk, runs, or bike rides if your going the distance.
