Print Friendly MapMason Creek Hike & Bike Trail is located in Katy, Texas. The asphalt trail runs along the creek and connects to parks on both ends. It is nestled between subdivisions, which have access to the trail at various points. The trail consists of two main segments: the 3.9-mile south trail runs along both ends of Mason Creek and ends in the south in George Bush Park, while the 3-mile north trail loops around a wetland. It is a great place to take a tranquil stroll while watching waterfowl wading in the water.
For the north loop, there is a sizeable parking lot at Mason Creek Park along Porter Road (2500 Porter Road). For the south trail, parking can be found on the south end of Katy Park (24927 Morton Rd, Katy).
While biking near the spillway, saw a Limpkin with White Ibises. Nice area. Wish it connected to George Bush Park trails.
This trail is a nice walk/park set between nice-looking neighborhoods. You can park either on Porter Road or just off Katy-Fort Bend road at Katy Park. It's pretty. It seems like a very safe area. There are no restrooms; but it's not a long hike. As always, since it's a wetlands area, if it's warm, I recommend bug spray.
Bonus info. (I don't own an interest in either of these but they are a treat.).
--At the corner of Franz and Porter is Tiny's gas station and taco shop. Great Tacos.
--If you take Porter Road North to Morton road and go left, you will find (at the corner of Morton and Katy-Hockley Cutoff) Tex Taco. It looks like a tent, because it is. The tent is set up by a taco truck with tables. This is my daughter's favorite taco place in the whole world. I think they are only open for breakfast and lunch.
