We love this beautiful park that meanders for miles along Buffalo Bayou on the west side. It has several entrances and extends from the Beltway 8 area out to the dam at Highway 6. Parts of it are heavily wooded and other parts have large open meadows. The paved pathways are really nice for walking, running, and biking. There are beautiful wooden bridges and a chance to see herons, egrets, and rabbits. Close to Eldridge there's a pretty gazebo, a playground, restrooms, and a large sun dial that will tell the time. There's even a local bat colony. We like that it never seems crowded, and the location is great for those in the Energy Corridor. You can really get away from the city here and get back to nature.

I just started biking and was looking for a relatively flat trail without a lot of walkers and car traffic. This is the place! We park at the soccer fields off Westheimer and bike the 18 miles to the dam that is being worked on currently-around Highway 6. Very small stretch on a street that has limited traffic otherwise nice paved bike trail.
