Nice short cemented trail with lots of wildflowers in early May.
Smooth concrete trail. A little crowded in the middle through the park area. Be ready for an abrupt end at the west end of the trail.
Until you get near Eisenhower Park, this is a mostly flat trail. Just before the park there's one really big hill with switchbacks that's a little rough but not the worst we've seen. Solid ride...we did almost 40 round trip
We were only partially prepared for the switchbacks. Wow...those were challenging/scary and yes I probably should have walked them as is posted. 30 of the lost challenging miles ever.
Feb 2024 the center of the trail under construction. Hard to get around but possible. Lots of restaurant close to trail.
My first time on this trail it was amazing very clean and smooth path. I would like to meet some regular rides to join me I am not an elite rider but I do enjoy a nice enjoyable ride.
There are a number of dangerous hills and turns throughout the trail. Perhaps a more experienced Rollerblade enthusiast could manage, however, not without a spotter.
The trail itself is wide and maintained and well marked. We started at Woodlawn Lake, not part of the trail, and went around on the paved path. Then we biked Alazon Creek and there were nice looking walls with different colors. The surrounding areas had lots of trash which wasn’t pleasant to look at. San Antonio does an amazing job with the Mission Trail and it would be nice if the efforts could be extended to Alazon.
The trail was well maintained and easy to ride on a wide path. We biked just past Elmendorf Lake Park and turned around. Once you go past the lake there is a lot of trash in the surrounding creek area. It was an eyesore but if you go just to the end of the lake, the environment is pleasing to the eye.
We started our trip at Concepcion Park and traveled south to Mission Espada then turned back north. We were experiencing a heat wave all over the country during our stay in San Antonio so needless to say the temps were above 100 degrees and very little to none of this stretch of the trail is shaded. It was a little difficult to navigate as you can see by the trail map there are areas where you connect to small trails that either make a big circle back to the Riverwalk or abruptly end! My favorite stop was at the Tree of Life. We didn't even attempt to ride through downtown. We took a separate trip to walk the downtown section which was beautiful and as we were walking we found the northern part of the trail which was less populated by walkers making biking a bit easier. We hope to go back again, maybe when the temps are a little lower!
The south end toward the missions is wide. The downtown path starting from Lexington to Josephine is very narrow. Pedestrians have to step off the sidewalk in many places to let you by. Many were justifiably annoyed. There is zero trail signage. So you have to know the area well to know where to get off. Beautiful riverwalk, and though bikes are permitted it was wishful thinking. You cannot ride there without very slowing to a walk behind a string of pedestrians.
