Confirmed from Terry Hershey Park Hike & Bike 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.
Biking and pedestrian-friendly trail network featuring a playground (for kids) and a water fountain.
What runners say about Terry Hershey Park Hike & Bike Trail
“multiple playgrounds and well maintained”
“It's always a pleasure to come out here and see how beautiful the park is”
“Like to of shaded section along the paths.”
One of my favorite parks locally. Plenty of parking off beltway 8 and Highway 6. Like to of shaded section along the paths. The paved/cemented trails are shared by cyclists and runners/walker, while the dirt paths are primarily for walkers. A few water fountains which my pups use regularly for a water break.
I love this park! Nice and smooth path for my feet! Brought my longboard 🛹 with me and I enjoyed the road! Definitely a good place for getting exercise by walking, riding and running! Highly recommended and come and walk! :) Cheers
Very pretty and clean. Unfortunately some of the cyclists are pretty close to running you over but the majority call their direction. The actual trail is beautiful and long.
My go to hike and bike trail. Not so crowded like memorial is and offers just as Good. If not better scenery. Since the bayou runs right along the trail, it can be really cool... But it can also be really humid. Elevation changes means you can get a nice workout in.
