Confirmed from Cibolo Creek Primitive Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Simple, city-maintained park featuring trails for hiking and mountain biking, and wildlife sightings.
What runners say about Cibolo Creek Primitive Trail
“Perfect place to enjoy some peace and quiet, normally see beautiful birds, butterflies, and native herd of deer.”
Just as described, it’s primitive. The trails are definitely more “natural” but still a fun hike. The area has lots of vegetation and trees and we saw more than a few deer. If you are looking for perfect trails this is not the place for you but if you don’t mind trails that are more “natural” then it’s worth a visit.
This trail offers multiple paths of varying distances depending on your stamina. Cibilo creek runs along side one of the trails too so you can get a real nice view at a few different spots. The path is also good for biking . There's a few off road trails too if that is to your liking.
Fun trails . lots of different paths. Great mountain biking or bmx jumping woops. or you can make them into little racetracks timing the kiddos. Just watch the arrows so you know the way they run . So you dont hit someone else. You can spend a few hours exploring. Fellow Walkers and riders. Are Courteous.
Hiked the Cibolo Creek Primitive Trail for the first time and absolutely loved it. We ended up hiking about 4 miles, and it was so much fun. The trail is beautiful, and I loved all the rocks to climb, which made it more adventurous and interesting. This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back.
