Hiking in Houston does exist!! Let’s #optoutside this #saturday and hit the trails! These are actual dirt trails with hills and surrounded by trees and some wildlife.
Total Mileage: 5-6 miles
Level of Difficulty: All levels but you should be able to walk about 25 minute miles.
We don’t leave anyone behind. The faster people will loop back to meet up with the rest of the group and we’ll regroup at intersections so everyone knows where to go. We’ll take short water breaks throughout the hike.

What to bring:
- Water
- Long pants
- Sun & bug protection
- Sturdy Shoes
- Snacks

After Hike:
- Lunch for a picnic in the park afterward
- Camping chair to relax
- Comfy shoes to change into

Dog-friendly for friendly dogs - must bring water and poop bags for your dog
Not Kid-friendly due to the length of the hike.

Fees:
HTXO & BCO members are free. $5 for non-members.
There is a $3 entrance fee per person (your state park pass does not work at this park but you can get an annual pass for $25)
The entrance fee is paid at the park when you arrive. Please allow 10 minutes extra to get through the front gate & drive to the parking lot since it’s at the back of the park.

How to find the group:
There are 3 parking lots near the Nature Center. We filled all 3 last time so arrive early. Look for the HTXoutdoors and Bayou City Outdoors sign at the entrance of the parking lot and that’s where we’re meeting up. We’ll start the hike from there.

Parking:
There is plenty of parking near the start location. The parking lot is at the back of the park so please allow extra time to drive there and arrive on time for the hike.

Start Time:
Arrive at 10 am for a 10:15 am sharp start time. Allow 10 minutes to get to the meetup location from the park entrance.

About the Park:
