January 31, 2021With the construction, the trail is so overcrowded by bikers. Would avoid doing this until the other trails open up unless you want to get run over.
January 18, 2021Loved it!
January 5, 2021A little muddy and you can get covid tested too
December 26, 2020Great! Some construction in the way.
December 4, 2020One of the trails (not sure if it’s purple or green) is currently closed for construction. Other one was nice.
November 21, 2020October 24, 2020Nice and unpaved! The construction going on out a big damper on the trail, but I’m excited to go back when the construction is done.
October 14, 2020Good.. a lot of mosquitos today..
October 10, 2020Great shaded trails! Definitely got a little lost/stuck trying to get back to the parking lot/trail head due to the closures
October 8, 2020A flatlander's dream! Beautiful views of the river and mostly shaded too.
September 26, 2020mountain biking today. a few wet spots but you could ride around them. construction still has a few dead ends, but great ride.
September 20, 2020great ride. no mud, a few people. getting use to the dead ends due to construction. lots of roots on the east side make the ride challenging.
September 20, 2020Due to construction, not all of the trails provide round trip options. So I combined most of the purple trail plus a round trip on the running trail to get my 10000 steps in. Lots of people out enjoying the cool stretch of weather. Bikers by the main part were courteous.
September 13, 2020great trails right in the middle of Houston. Construction has created a few dead ends, but good signage so you know what you are getting into. With the construction, it appears that the forest is starting to encroach on what used to be wider trails... maybe a little less use, but quite a few people out today.
September 11, 2020Great if you like being run over by mountain bikers
September 7, 2020The map really helped. Got turned around a few times.. great hike. I really enjoyed it. There were bikers but you could hear them coming. You just need to be careful..
August 19, 2020Tougher than it looks from the ground. The elevation will get you if not prepared. Unparalleled views from the top. Lots of room to move around.
July 12, 2020Plenty of shade. Great get away inside the city.
July 9, 2020Awesome trail for a quick calorie burn and cover for scorching Texas heat. Spotted an Armadillo babies.
June 30, 2020Decent hiking trail through the woods of Memorial Park. This trail definitely favors mountain bikers so hikers pay attention! No ear buds on this hike.
May 28, 2020Great trail! Nice and shaded. Would however recommend bringing a lot of water. This map really helped too as the signage can be a little confusing at times. As it is a combination of 2 trails, you have to walk across a parking lot that isn’t as shaded. Overall great fun, highly recommend.
May 16, 2020we visit this trail, awsome experience, lots of challenge. make sure picture the map because you will get lost if not familiar with the trails. & watch out for bike riders. love it
May 14, 2020May 10, 2020The green loop is a lot better than the purple, more up and downs. However, watch out for bikes, they’ll run you down.
April 20, 2020Dog friendly! Very nice little walk
