Buffalo Bayou Loop

Perfect spots to picnic, cool off near fountains when hot, and hills enough to feel like you’ve accomplished something cardio intensive and a little challenging by the time you are finished :)

it is still a little chaotic from harvey, but otherwise its fine. great for small children, elders, PT, and leashed/not leashed dogs. i havent gone kayaking yet, but people who are seem quite pleased. the 5ish-mile run is fun and challenging with the wind and hills. apart from the damge from harvey, this trail is great.
note: if you have small children, keep them away from the silt piles! rats and who knows what lives in those!!!

I rate it this high because it is one of the few trails in Houston. Very easy and fun to run...all the time.

It's tricky to navigate, but once you get it, it's great. Paved path is great. It's hard because it's mostly in the sun. There are restrooms that you can use. They are in the blue lagoon building accessable from the outside in the back. Restrooms were clean.

This is an easy trail with lots of room for walkers, runners, bikes, and strollers. There is art, nice scenery, and points of interest along the way for anyone who likes to be outdoors.

I run this loop at least once a week. Easy to run, walk, or bike. There's plenty of places to start or bridges to cross, so it's easy to switch it up and keep from getting bored.
