Great place to walk, jog and run! My second time here and love it. The first time it was hot and humid in Houston BUT being out here with ample shade didnt feel crazy hot. Todays run was a little damp because of recent rains but the trail was still compact and dry because of the tree overhangs. Some patches of water on the trail but not bad. I have waterproof shoes so I was able to run through the shallow spots with no issues. There is a beach trail that we walked last time...it hadnt rained yet, so it was a little lacking visually but Im certain with current and future rains, the view will be much better. The beach area is actually pretty large, lots of soft sand, perfect for dogs and lunges. Lots of birds and squirrels in the preserve, have yet to see any larger animals, and there are snakes here, but Ive been lucky enough to not see those!!

This place was super awesome, they actually have live animals inside. Cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, copperheads, and some of their lookalike siblings. they even had two baby alligators in there. This place is amazing.I came out to hike the trails and pick up trash. Theres a quite a bit more trash out on the trails than I would have liked. But theyre now clean (or at least cleaner).This is totally destination I suggest for people with kids!

So fun a great way to get out in nature !!There is a play ground on the way also beach access so put down your phones and electronics and come to spring Creek Greenway nature center !!!

Good bike and walk trails, however be careful of house flies.. I would recommend wearing track pants instead of shorts, also carry lots of water.. start early so that you can cover most trails.. the nature center is currently closed and so are the restrooms.

We went there to vote for the 2020 election, and at 5pm there wasnt any lines at all. The machines were distanced to allow for social distancing. They offered gloves, and lots of hand sanitizer. We felt totally safe voting at this location. Plus the beautiful scenery was a nice plus.

Fully open now with live snakes, little alligators, toads etc along with fossils and skulls. Very nice. And they have improved the boardwalk to the lake and thru the woods.

Great trails for walking! Cannot wait to return, the scenery is beautiful!

Nice trails for an afternoon. Wild forest.

Nice little preserve with ~4-5 miles of wooded trails and Bluegill Pond. Part of the Spring Creek greenway.

We have been coming here throughout the shut down and have enjoyed having picnics and walking around the pond.The Nature Center was finally open today and we were able to go in and see lots of cool stuff and animals. I was particularly impressed with the vast knowledge that Hannah possessed about each animal.

Overall I had a great experience. I think this would be a fantastic place for the family during the summer. I visited on a dry day but it must have rained during the week as many of the pathways were covered with water. If you go a few days after a rain, be sure to wear shoes you dont mind getting dirty.

This nature center is awesome! Lots of trees to keep you in the shade and also the trails are nicely marked.

Over 280 acres of natural wonder! Many trails, paths and vistas to take in. Many activities for kids but are on hold now and hopefully will resume soon.

Voted there...seems like a very nice place/area.

Great trails! Cute kids park and live animals

Very cool park! Loved the nature center

Such a fun little visit. Loved the animals and their names!

Very nice. Trails are a bit under kept though I feel. Other than that perfectly fine.

What a gem! My whole family loved the nature center, complete with bathrooms and water fountains. The play center has toys, puzzles and real animal skins and bones for kids to explore. The living animal exhibits were so cool, and they even opened the cages for us to touch a couple non-venomous snakes. The nature preserve itself is fun to explore. The hike around the pond is the right length for young kids. No paved path for strollers, so bring your carrier or baby backpack.

I like this place because of two different reasons one being that it is kind of in the wilderness and the other is its on dirt trails. I like the fact that you are with nature in your walking along in a pre path directional map. There are wild life and things that you normally see in bigger parts like Sam used in but this 1 has its own little flair then if you need something my dad this is the place to go

Absolutely love this place!! The nature center is great and always having different events for kids to learn hands on. You can easily hike 5 miles or more through the beautiful trees, along the creek, and around the pond. Fishing is catch and release only. Dogs are allowed on leashes and please pick up after your pet! I had the pleasure of watching the solar eclipse here 8-21-2017 with my family. We had our own glasses and they had telescopes and binoculars set up in boxes so that everyone could see the eclipse. Ive been here countless times and continue to make great memories at this park.

We attended the Storytime in the Forest and then enjoyed a walk on the trails! Very kid friendly!

Love the new and improved nature center! My toddler loves exploring the books and puzzles, and also looking at the animals of course! The staff here is always so kind and informative!

Beautiful, peaceful and quiet nature reserve!

Nice and quite early morning.

Beautiful facility, clean and well-stocked rest rooms, great trails along Spring Creek or for the adventurous, further in the woods.

Peaceful. Had a great trail walk with the whole fam. I posted a picture of the map because that was the only thing I couldnt seem to locate anywhere.

Awesome park, hidden play place my kiddo loved discovering. We enjoyed the indoor exhibits, and the live friends as well! Will have to come back again soon.

Great place for everyone and they have things to keep kids interested and learning. Our family had fun during our recent visit coloring pages of local flowers, plants, and animals; as well as talking to the gentleman at the info desk who happened to be extremely intelligent and full of knowledge he was willing to share with us. He knew a lot about mosquitoes and our kids (and us!) were full of questions, but he had a lot of overall knowledge as well about much more than mosquitoes; he had mentioned though how hed studied (and if I recall correctly) helped with some research on mosquitoes. Highly recommend this place!

It was only to exercise our right to vote, so we didnt see much, but the people there seemed friendly enough, therefore in my opinion 5 stars are in order!

This place is great if you live in spring and need a place to just relax and get away. Youre dog will love it too

Was there to early vote. Shorter line than in the Woodlands.

Smooth. Organized and fast!!!Early voting rocks here!!!

Very nice place..small but good info. Easy walking trails..the trails could be marked better..We recommend this place

Nice place to get get close to nature, but would be more suitable to have more markers and maps for those who arent familiar with this place.

Lovely nature walk, especially during December. TDuring the summer, there are lots of mosquitoes and other bugs, but not in the Texas winter months. Keep dogs on leash.

Nice and clean and great for families

Best polling place ever, worst parking and entrance ever.

You walk on the trails or ride your bicycle very fun

Nice. Trails are kept up and nice scenery.

We love to take the kids fishing here

Fun place. Friendly people. Saw neat stuff

Great place for a relaxing walk with the kids and dog.

Inside is boring and closed. Trails are fun though

Love this place. Trails and learning. Well maintained!

Very nice and clean

This place has amazing trails. Love it!

Vote! Friendly staff and no wait

Great place to visit. Good exhibits and walking trails.

Great nature center run by really nice folks. Lots of great education material and a beautiful spot.

Great place to take kiddos to learn a bit about nature and to just get out in nature and off the digital leashes

The trails are very natural, which is a nice Contrast to the adjoining Denis Johnson park just on the other side of the river in Harris county. In a few spots they have board walks over persistently wet spots. Some of the boards are only 3 planks wide, so they do not fit the wagon my son rides in behind my bike. I would imagine they dont accommodate a wheel chair much either, but it would take a pretty rugged and accomplished driver to get a wheel chair to them.

Wide open grassy area with walking path around the lake, lots of shade and you can fish there.

Absolutely beautiful

Good tacos. Great price.

This place is great. Natural walking trails. The nature center has animals to learn about. Friendly staff.

Great place to go if you enjoy walking nature trails to get away from the usual.

Nice place

Cool place

Pretty place with nice trails. Bring extra bug spray!

Lots of great trails

You definitely want to check it out and the kids already want to come back for more.

Beautiful hiking trails, nice fishing pond, and the educational center with exhibits is awesome.

Very clean park well maintained beautiful look.

Great scenery long and well cleared with plenty of one with nature atmosphere. Good for a hoof or a bike ride and a pond for fishing.

Beautiful trails that are well preserved. Facilities are well kempt and its usually pretty quite and low traffic.

There are bugs, its a nature trail in Texas, after you get past that, the place is beautiful and the lake is awesome

Beautiful trails

A little rough but good outing on a mountain bike. Some good spots for photos

They gave our scouts a guided tour of the nature center, the we to a walk to the lake.

Love it!

Ive been here several times. They have gray trails and weve seen lots of rabbits and other wildlife. There a lake down one trail where I took my daughter fishing and theres a task that leads to the creek as well. Great place close to home to just get away from everything and back to nature for a few hours or all day.

Beautifully redone center and nice outdoor area.

Nice park. Lots of nature trails. Decent size fishing pond, just watch out for snapping turtles. Ive never seen so many in my life.

Taking a foraging class...who knew ghere were so many edibles in my backyard?

Such a beautiful park! My wife and I took our two sons (ages 2 and 7 months) and we had a blast. There is a playground for the kids and the lake is full of nice sized bass you can catch. Highly recommended!

Very nice place but mosquitoes everywhere ..

**ETA- the nature center is OPEN again!! We love what theyve done with the revision of the inside of the building post-Harvey! There are so many critters to see! There is a coloring/reading station, a fun carpet and animals for pretend play, books, puzzles, and interactive screens for learning about nature and future activities! My kids really love going here!My only complaint now is that you have to reserve your spot for upcoming activities through Facebook. Not everyone has(or wants) a Facebook account. We have missed out on participating twice because of this feature. We have sadly decided to stop trying to join the activities. Im more interested in being active outside than being attached to Facebook.**We used to love coming here when we had free family time. The trails are mostly open again, but the Nature Center is not fully remodeled after Hurricane Harvey flooded it. Wear mud-approved shoes if you plan to hike. There are several patches of mud throughout the trails, but they are otherwise dry and pleasant.My kids and I enjoy walking around, and admiring the wildlife. And we LOVE the Little Free Library! The picnic area is a great place to stop for a lunch break. But, dont plan on using the bathrooms- they always seem to be locked. Ill amend my rating once the Nature Center reopens.

Love the new set up!

So sad that this place flooded again enough that it now lays vacant. Still has trails all around that are accessible to walk. We meet the commissioner her once for Scouts and our HOA used to use the larger room for meetings.

Small but informative and organised nature center. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful and my kids love talking with them. We enjoyed hiking on the trails looking around at the lake and you think the kids play equipment. A fun place to enjoy nature without too far of a drive.

Great place to go relax, fish, walk the dog.

Love to ride the trails but does anyone know who I could contact in order to modify the trails such as adding small jumps or anything fun for mountain bikers? Or do I need any permission at all?Also I live in the neighborhood

The actual center is recovering from flood damage and closed. We couldnt find the park...maybe it was the tall benches made by the Eagel scouts...not sure. Nice paths.

We saw lots of firefiles (lightning bubs)! Come at dusk!

Very pretty and peaceful.

Love this place! Great for kids. A good place to get a little nature in the middle of bustling Houston!

Beautiful Trails to walk or Ride bikes, playgrounds, and a large fishing pond. Love it!

Great place to take the kids! Very friendly and helpful staff! And its free! They have trails to hike (one takes you down to Spring Creek), a pond to fish in and several nature displays and live critters for the kids to look at.

Did you ever feel a beaver pelt? See displays of all our local wildlife. No crowds

There some trails, picnic areas, and fishing. Sadly it appears that several of the trails are not being well maintained, and there are almost always flooded sections, even when it hasnt rained for a while. It also appears that the nearby subdivision owns/maintains part of the grounds, and does not appear to want the public there, even though there is nearby public parking for the area. I still like coming here, but I wish the trail maintenence was a little better.

Good to visit

Good park

Always have a good time here

Great place to go fishing or walk some trails.

Great place to come with your bike and also to walk. Very peaceful lake.

You cant do one of these things wrong, saving and celebration of nature has to always be rewarded. Wonderful feelings happen here! :)

Even with the recent flooding, there were lots of areas to explore. Dog friendly, and kid friendly trails.

Its a nice stop to see area flowers and a nice little exhibit inside of area things.

Great place. Nice amenities. Very clean and modern.
