Trail Description:
This is a flat paved trail through the resevoir with trees on either side. It's a very pleasant and gentle ride but watch for walking families.

You can also access some singletrack and access Bear Creek Park.

How to get there:
One entrance is off of Hwy6 and Patterson Road (just north of i10). Park on the east side of the hwy(if that lot's full, go down Patterson a bit and park in the Bear Creek Farm and Ranch Club) (there's a light so you can cross)

There are other entrances, it crosses a few streets and comes out in a couple little parks here and there, I don't know the names of any of these, if anyone knows and would post it, that would be good.

Additional Notes:
Pavement is Beginner, singletrack is not.

If you ride that trail at night have seen a wild boar or two in there!

The park at the Saums Rd end is called Cullen Park. If you are riding from there watch for a trail on your right. It is shortly before you cross barker cypress rd. You can clearly see the path in the field as it has been mowed down. It leads to some nice single track in the woods.

Haven't rode this trail, used to skate is. Gets pretty heavy use in spring & fall, very hot in summer. don't know of any single track that the is Ok'd to ride. Try Hershey Park off Memorial & Eldridge for single track (south bank) or Memorial Park
