This park is a true hidden gem of Houston. Please note that the map provided on the official website is NOT accurate. I’ve attached a photo of a map provided Greater Houston Off Road Biking Association, which was very accurate and informative.
We walked 6 miles along the bike trails. We saw splendid views of the water ways, abundant water foul and wildlife. Wildflowers were in full bloom in April and made the trip extra special.
Cyclists were very friendly and it was easy to navigate around them. The trials are sandy with some elevation, but easy walking. The paved path which runs in the middle of the park is very level and well maintained. It would be say to do with children 5 and up. However, please be aware that there are few resources along the trial. Almost no bathrooms except at the parking area and at the skate park, both port-a-potties.

We will continue to walk these trails with our kids, in the hopes that these "XGAME Riders" will show more courtesy to pedestrians. Thank you for this beautiful park and I ask that everyone please stay...
Read moreThis is a wonderful set of trails. Very hilly with lots of cool features to challenge hikers and mountain bikers alike. Everyone was very polite and as a hiker it was easy to step aside to let the bikers through. They communicated with us well and it was easy to share the space. My only complaint is how poorly the trails are marked. In some places, not at all. My GPS was still working, though the trails weren't on the map, so you can use that to get back to your car. There is a port a potty at the trail head, but that's the only bathroom. No running potable water that I could find, so bring...
