2.Spring Creek Greenway
Spring Creek Greenway is a 10-foot wide paved hike, bike and horseback riding trail in Spring, Harris County, stretching over 40 miles of green space through the forest on the south side of Spring Creek. The greenway offers great opportunity for cycling, hiking, jogging and wildlife viewing, through the parts of the Piney Woods or along natural sloughs and sand beaches by the creek.
