Amazing paved trail, smooth asphalt and concrete.. beautiful scenery and nice shade from canopy of trees. Runs along a nice creek and is extremely lengthy so its great for any experienced person!I personally love to longboard long distance and this trail is perfect for that due to its smoothness and small hills. 10/10 would recommend this park for anyone wanting to bike/walk/run/skate a great trail. This is my favorite place to go and unwind.

Great trails for walking and biking even saw some horses out there a great way to get close to nature and you can tell theyve really spent some money on making the trail nice scenic and safe

This is such a nice park! Beautiful trails and tons of nature. Its a really good spot for bird watching, and some fishing places as well. The nature center has a lot of cool snakes and other educational material, as well as open bathrooms and a pretty garden area. Jesse Jones also has several educational programs (nature walks, etc) still going on with limited space - you can reserve spots up to 10 days in advance.

I love how well-maintained this park is! I come here to work on our adopted trail throughout the year. I recently walked the west side perimeter of the park. Stunning! I was shocked that I didnt see people on a Saturday morning on most of the paths I took. Ill be coming back to explore the Sandy Beach!! I almost took a nap on the platform at Turtle Pond. Everyone was social distancing themselves which added to my peace.

Nice trails with beautiful trees and ponds, not far from the airport. So if you have a an extended layover at IAH this park is a nice option to spend few hours on nature.

This is a dime for runners, walkers, bikers, fishermen. Ideal for both a solo or family adventure. This place is huge so take a water bottle or two, maybe inside a backpack or a pouch so you have your hands free.The beach zones have white sand and the trails are paved and dirt.

They claim to be dog friendly yet they have NO DOGS beyond this point on every trail and every playground. So the only trail your actually allowed to go on is the bike trail which is not great and were always having to move out of the way and watch for speeding bicyclists so we didnt get ran over. Most of which are rude and/or just not very friendly but a few were super friendly which was refreshing. All and all I was completely disappointed and not sure if I will take BooBoo back.

Great place to access the Spring Creek Trail. Really appreciate the park personnel always getting the park open on time though usually they have it open 15-30 minutes earlier. Very nice to be able to get an early start during the hot summer season.

We had no idea that this wonderful nature park existed and so close to Houston. We visited the Nature Center, the paved wooded trails, picnic area and playground. The highlight of the park was the sand beach along Spring Creek. We visited on a Tuesday and the park was practically empty - good for us during this Covid-19 pandemic.

This place has been our sanctuary and saving grace during the pandemic. We ride several times a week and it’s magical each time. A little more crowd on sat and sun mornings but no biggies.

This was my first visit to a park since moving back here from Washington 2 months ago. We live very close so we walked with our dogs.The park was open although most kids equipment were not. Biking and hiking trails were open. We didnt get to explore all, but we walked down a trail for a while. It was clean and beautiful. Actually foresty, we evwn saw a deer! People were nice. Restrooms were also open.

We so enjoy hiking the trails here there are plenty of short hikes to do with kids and the fact there are nearby bathrooms is a bonus! Kids also enjoyed the playground for a bit. Boardwalks are well maintained and it was fun to see turtles, birds, and bugs up close.

Truly enjoyed the park with my kids. Bike trails for days. Cool trails with all of the trees around. The kids saw a deer in the forest as we were riding. Rode by the water along the trails and saw families enjoying picnics and playing. Beautiful day!

Went right after a days worth of heavy rain and all most of the paths were still accessible. My girlfriend loves frogs and the marsh was sufficiently filled with frogs getting ready to mate. Needless to say she was very happy there. I wish I had taken some pictures of my own, everything was so gorgeous even after all the rain.

Im a wheelchair user and this place is very nice for exercising or just to see nature. Whether you run or bike ride. Its trails cut through the very green woods and it follows right along the San Jacinto river for miles.

Bring your bike if you want to see the rest of the trails. If you start from here and go all the way to the other side and back you can easily ride your bike up to 30 miles or more. Plus the bike path are also will maintain.

Beautiful trail. Paved all the way through with a few nice scenic spots. There is a speed limit on the trail for bikes. It was very well kept and they have a few security golf carts patrolling. Nothing motorized allowed. Even electric skateboards.

Great place for wandering paths and learning about nature and different kinds of habitat (forest, river, etc.). We even found some ripe blackberries along the trail.Some of the trails near the beach/river did not have clear signage.Bugspray is a must! We went through a couple areas where there were large swarms of bugs, some of which followed us some distance down the path.Playground is great.Christmas festival is a good activity, with Santa, school choirs and other live music, wagon hay rides, etc.

Review №58

I carried my green kids hiking and fishing today the hiking trails were cool but any place to get onto the creek was over brushed and falling trees theres only one real place to get onto the beach so basically you have to walk the whole park to find that spot because it has not been cleaned up in years and that is sad because somebody is going to get hurt eventually.

I absolutely love this place. You can honestly get lost in this place. I know because I have got lost a few times. Bring your backpack, camera, snacks and plenty of water. Its so big, that it will take you almost the whole day to explore the whole park.

This place is great. Many activities for the individual and family: fishing, kayaking, hiking, bike riding, park and playground, nature center, exploring, and many scheduled events. They have invested quite a bit over the years. A definite park to visit. They also have various activities that meet scouting requirements. I highly recommend this park. If you kayaking, drop it off and Pundt and exit here but careful with the current.
