As of August 2019, the bike route is closed on the south side of Buffalo Bayou. This trail starts on the Blue Jay Trail, heading south along the Buffalo Bayou. The route eventually links up with the Anthills Trail, on the south bank of the Buffalo Bayou. This is a single track mountain biking route. Eventually, this route crosses over Buffalo Bayou on a bridge, and then links up with the Quail Trail. This is a paved path often used by runners and road bikers. Then the route returns to the parking lot. If you'd like to extend this loop, there are multiple opportunities to cross north over Buffalo Bayou on a bridge.

Sun Aug 04 2019This is a nice, easy trail that mostly hides the noise from the nearby busy streets. The trail hugs Buffalo Bayou for about half of it, but you can venture through the brush to walk alongside it if you wish. True to the name, we saw several blue jays, cardinals, and bunnies. The trail was paved the while way. However, the city has closed the south side of the trail, which looked a lot quieter and more interesting. We didn’t see any signage for this, just fencing. So this is now an out-and-back trail.
