Confirmed from Terry Hershey Park Hike & Bike Trail - The Anthills' 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.
Scenery-rich park featuring a network of trails and playground equipment.
What runners say about Terry Hershey Park Hike & Bike Trail - The Anthills
This trail is good for bike or hike. However it's not friendly for kids. The environment is good and easy to catch nice pictures.
An excellent place to ride trails. This is the trail to ride if you really want to get your workout on. The Antills are a biker's dream. Shout out to the community of bikers that keep that trail awesome. This was my fourth ride on the Hershey Trail but first on the Anthills. I definitely will be back.
Found a parking lot on Daily Ashford and walked on the trail for a couple miles from there. There are some benches, picnic tables and exercise equipments appearing once in a while along the trail which was a nice surprise. Will be back for a longer walk.
Very nice bike and hike trail. Has many trails to bike and hike and the bayou passes through.
Trail conditions & character
“Frustrating how many little pull offs there are the seem originally intended to be undeveloped microlots, but they're now gated off with no parking signage.”
“This side offers an easier, paved hiking/biking trail with gentle slopes, compared to the steeper other side.”
