Friars Creek Hike & Bike Trail

Suburban access to parks

August, 2024 by brian_thomas

I would describe this as a suburban trail. If I lived nearby I might use it, but I don’t recommend traveling far to explore it. Much of the north-south portion of the trail connects neighborhoods and apartment complexes. The two parks at the southern end are nice and include a water park.

Pepper Creek Hike & Bike Trail

Well maintained

August, 2024 by brian_thomas

Lots of shaded rest areas with benches and water fountains, multiple parking access points, bike, repair tools, has a very rural feel for such an urban location. There are two almost separate trails separated by a comfortable sidewalk. There are more users on the southern half. Well done, Temple!

FM 2305 Hike & Bike Trail

A Commuter Path

August, 2024 by brian_thomas

This isn’t really a recreational trail, it’s more of a commuter path that runs alongside a busy road. It’s better than a bike lane, but serves the same purposes: get to work, go to the store, etc. The area is very commercial with lots of strip malls, fast food restaurants, and driveways that cross the path. There are numerous traffic lights. The most interesting thing to see is the old truss bridge. The connection to Pepper Creek Trail is helpful in providing urban connectivity, however.

Cotton Belt Trail (Waco)

Under Construction!

April, 2024 by hwilson3

As mentioned by a March 2024 reviewer, access to the trail from Trail Blazer Park is not possible. After driving to the other end of the trail (parking near the landfill at 31.480351887289, -97.25833084813019 ) we discovered the trail itself is torn up from Church St all the way to Trail Blazer Park. It appears there's a flood control project in work?

Also slightly disappointing the base of the trail under the concrete apparently wasn't compacted well as the surface is cracking badly in many places. This damage will need repair at some point.

It's a short ride (due to the construction) but still worth it.

Cotton Belt Trail (Waco)

Bridges through the trees

March, 2024 by brian_thomas

The entry from Trail Blazer Park was closed for construction (March 2024) so we started at the end near the landfill. It has easy parking, was clean and well-maintained. The elevated bridges wind through the trees - very nice. I’ll be back!

Gilleland Creek Trail

Easy access at the sports complex. Surface was smooth, easy riding. Even on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, it wasn't overly crowded.

Nolan Creek Hike and Bike Trail

relaxing stroll

August, 2022 by rcjoyce123

This concrete path is accessible to everyone. The creek along with its shade trees provide a path that’s both relaxing and rejuvenating.

Brushy Creek Regional Trail

1/2 gravel 1/2 concrete

March, 2022 by deborahdebmartin

Very nice scenery, water views! Just found at least half of the trail is gravel most packed some loose, just be prepared.

Wells Branch Hike and Bike Trail

A beautiful, hidden gem

November, 2021 by jeremyandvonnie

I am surprised how many people still don’t know about this trail, but then again maybe that’s a good thing. It is clean, well-maintained, and quite peaceful. The trail wanders through the neighborhood, around Mills Pond, through the main parks areas, along a disc golf course, and it follows a creek most of the way with multiple bridges. I recommend this trail to everyone and they are always pleasantly surprised by how great it is.

FM 2305 Hike & Bike Trail

Bike Trail?

November, 2021 by jordanjh2003

Is this really a bike trail? Seems like it just follows the road on the north side of Adams. If you ride the south side of Adams you’ll get hit for sure. Lots of traffic and vehicles coming and going down all those 30+ driveways that you’ll come across. I wouldn’t call it a “trail” but more of a “route”.

Wells Branch Hike and Bike Trail

Nature Wonderland

October, 2021 by luvthestars

This trail is like getting lost in Mother Natures wonderland. Trails are clearly marked. Very safe and peaceful so far.

Nolan Creek Hike and Bike Trail

Enjoyable walk

June, 2021 by stevebarkley54

We really enjoyed walking along this trail next to Nolan Creek. It goes through 3 parks and was not crowded at all. All concrete pathway made it very easy. If you have kids they will enjoy both the creek and the playgrounds along the way. One even had a splash pad. There are a few spots with easy access to the creek. While we were sitting with our feet in the water a family came by and the grandmother introduced us to her son, who designed this trail walk!
