Best Trails near Corpus Christi, Texas

Nice views of Oso Bay across from the TAMU-CC campus. Bring binoculars for shorebirds at end of the boardwalk.

I entered this trail from salsa road which I found out about from a youtube video, the only problem is I there was no signs to let you know if you can park there or not. this trail is pretty good. It has a lot of trails and some pretty good features but very confusing to find we didn't ride around all that much cause we didn't want to get lost.

Great trail but the damn grass is to damn high to ride through

I enjoyed this trail quite a bit. I wish things were slightly better marked, particularly for a visitor from out of town, it took me a while to find the paths each turn. One piece of sage advice - use mosquito repellent. I got eaten alive and struggled the following week with awful bites. ;-) Well maintained, nice trails!

Quiet in the springtime compared to the popular "spring breaker" beaches. Very few places to sit once you start walking, but still good for a stroll. If you have bike tires made for sand you can ride along the shore. Mind the jellyfish.

Awesome for easy trail running- you can get easily lost though!

Best one so far. signs everywhere. great places to rest and enjoy scenery.

Nice wide trail. I took my 3 year old. It's a little long for her. We'll bring the stroller next time.

trail was good but not enough directions. no map of trails.

Easy, nice trail.

Nice paved trail for most of the walk, some well kept dirt trail as well. Definitely on the easier side.

Nice trail system, well maintained and full of wildlife. Unfortunately a lot of strange people were on the trail when I went for a walk on a Sunday morning! Passed out in the bushes or asking for drugs when I walked by. One even followed me back to my car. Will not be walking there alone ever again.

I wish I had known about this a long time ago! I took my dog out for a 4 mile “hike” around this park and the adjacent trails. Lots of wildlife, very quiet. I thought it was as well maintained as it needed to be. Some bushwhacking required on the narrower trails and areas around the water are muddy. Since this is a mountain biking trail system you need to be careful of bikers coming around some of the blind turns, along with off-road vehicles on the wider trails. Other than that it is a great trail system and I will be returning!

Great trail for all levels along Oso Bay.

It's overgrown and there are some muddy patches, but it still makes for an exhilarating (although short) hike!

Pretty grown over right now, probably all the rain we’ve had.

Hot, humid, lots of ant beds and mosquitoes. .Few places to sit, rest.

The only off road trail system near Corpus Christi.. Double track and single track, walkers and riders frequent this trail. Monday pm ride every week. Check Bay Area Cycles for schedule.

This trail is in Corpus Christi, not Big Bend State Park as stated in the list.

Great park! Tons of trails, well maintained. Nice clean restrooms at the learning center. Big park for kids. I got a little lost on the trails, but only because I'm directionally challenged. Spent about 3 hours here walking around exploring everything.

Love this new area for hiking and exploring as well as the kids playground that is really fun and encourages running around, playing, and climbing along with exploring the wetland areas.

We brought the cub scouts here for a 3 miler. A very nice walk in a beautiful day. The full circuit is about 1.7 miles including side paths, with only one hill. We walked it twice to push us over 3 miles.

It's the closest thing Corpus Christi has to a wildlife/wilderness trail and I use it all the time to try out my backpacking gear, be among nature, etc. Don't freak out by the labyrinth of trails. You can pretty much follow the power lines to find an exit somewhere. The trails are mostly maintained by volutneers, can get overgrown at times. Chiggers are real bad in Spring and Summer. I only gave four stars because I wish this park was bigger with even more trails and that camping was allowed.

Does anyone have any experience how the camping is in the area? Looking at coming down early summer.

My daughter and I drove about 25 miles down the beach. Played in a little loose sand splashed in the water once or twice. Just a nice easy cruise.

Wide trails with canopy of mature trees over most of the trails. Great if you want to minimize exposure to the sun. View of the water from most of the trails. Serene and quiet; except for the many, many birds, haha :-). Boardwalk leads to observation area at water’s edge. Dog walking and photo shoots are popular activities.

Easy walk. Well shaded for about half. Good views of Oso Bay

Paved trail through a wooded park. Nice addition to the area. Adjacent to a small lake and some historic markers to tell the history of the area
