Terrific place to walk, run and ride you bike. There are cement trails and dirt trails. On the dirt trails you feel like you are in a forest.

Great trail for running. I see a lot of bicycles as well. Looks like some cool off road biking trails just off the main trail. Plenty of trees and wildlife. The deer are everywhere in the mornings.

This is a lightly used trailhead. In my early morning walks, I almost always see deer.

Great trail head. Long hill down to trails. Great for starting out here but a hard finish on the bike when you are done for the day and have to ride back up that same hill. Lol

Excellent bike path for cycling. Trails have plenty of trees providing coverage from direct sun. However very busy with walkers later in the morning.

Just a few minutes from my house. Great area in the city that makes you feel like you’re far away from it all.

Great trails, clean, dog friendly, lots of shaded trails to explore. I wish there were more trash cans and water fountains throughout the park.

Plenty of parking & the park police are right there. Very steep to get to the trail so beware.

We found this gem near our apartment and have made it a routine to walk the trails in the evening. Even during summer, this portion of the greenway isn’t bad because it’s mostly shaded. There is a low water crossing at the trailhead, so I imagine that it would be difficult to cross after a heavy rain. There are always lots of deer grazing at this spot as well. There is a Park Police station adjacent to the newly expanded parking lot. There is always plenty of parking and a port-a-potty in case you gotta go!

Love this trail for running! Great scenery, paved paths and mostly shaded!Some of the cyclists fly through there, so you really have to pay attention and watch for them!

One of our favorites.We enjoy seeing the deer and it’s super quiet.They need to put more dog bags with the bins for people, the bikes come flying so you have be aware n stay on your right.

Right in my neighborhood. Access to miles of parkway for bicycles and walkers. Wide, shaded paths so even brutal summer heat is bearable. Get out and enjoy the view!

Adequate parking leading down a steep hill to the green belt below. For those who like a challenge try running up the hill when you return. One thing to be aware of is that at the bottom of the hill there is a low water crossing that floods frequently when raining. The trail head provides water and restrooms.

Very beautiful A LOT of deer. It has some steep hills so be careful bikers. A lot of trees & i didnt walk the entire thing but it is a decent size! Can be a bit creepy alone so i would say bring a friend. You can go like 10-20 mins without seeing anyone else

Beautiful trail. Lots of families walking and biking on this trail. The biking community seems to like this trail a lot. Being several miles long and offing both on trailniand off trail options its good for many different skill levels.

Review №47

The trail as of 3/4/16 offer about 26 miles of out and back paved concrete or asphalt starting at I-10 and 1604 and ending at Ingram park mall VIA station. Perfect for walking, jogging, or cycling. There are also mountain bike trails which run parallel to the cement trails. These have a moderate difficulty in some areas and require a bit of familiarization with the various routes.

Be CAREFUL going entering this trailhead by bike. Its downhill and theres an extremely sharp turn at the end. Ive seen several people fall and get injured, theres a sign and even the parking police office there but nothing to prevent you from falling into the trees or rocks

Love this place, its shaded by plenty of trees but try to bring a friend, sometimes its alone and seems to be scary for women working out by themselves

Le
Review №69

Excellent trail for walkers, runners, cyclists, skaters...anyone. dog friendly. and I always feel safe when on the trails -- there are trail employees that ride the trail all day long and are there to help people out if needed. when it rains a ton, the trails do get flooded, but the waters recede fairly quickly. you totally feel like youre away from the city when youre on the trails, and there are a lot of trailheads to allow you entrance from all over the city. its about 12.5 miles from the 1604 trailhead to ingram, and theyve been building more on to make it longer

Beautiful scenery, and I wish I could give it five stars . However as soon as we arrived we started walking onto the path (My husband and two kids )A very rude biker yelled at us to get off the path . Very confused my husband and I exchanged glances in which the biker yelled once again Yeah you heard me ! I dont know if we just looked like some young dumb couple or what . My husband is military and works all the time, we just wanted to get some fresh air with the kids . Everyone else was extremely sweet, and the view was spectacular .
