This trail starts on the Mockingbird Trail going east. It eventually joins the Quail Trail traversing along the northern bank of the Buffalo Bayou.
Accessibility: This asphalt, concrete, and wood trail is estimated to typically be at least 8 feet wide. Wooden bridge sections may be more narrow but have hand rails and edge barriers. The slope is very steep in a few sections and estimated to range from 0-20% grade. The estimated 8-20% grade, steep to very steep, sections are located at the 1.9, 3.6, 4.2, 5.1, 5.5, 6.1, and 6.8 mile marks when heading east from the trailhead. Trail goers may wish to turn around before these sections or ask for assistance from companions to safely navigate the slope. There are two ADA-compliant car parking spots at the trailhead.
