Confirmed from Weeks Bayou Nature 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.
Nature preserve with a beach offering activities from sunrise to sunset.
What runners say about Weeks Bayou Nature Trail
“Beautiful walking through a Wooded Trail Area on foot.”
“It’s right off the street but quiet.”
Beautiful walking through a Wooded Trail Area on foot. Great Exercise and Natural View Points here to come accross! I loved it!
Beautiful area that is not packed with people. Walk the beach or the nature trail.
Nice little stop area for a family if you want something a tad quieter and less busy if the beach is what you are looking for. The beach isn't quite as pretty but again it is quieter in general. This is also a fairly nice place to jog by and make take a gander at some of the plant- and wildlife.
Awesome place to take your mutt for a walk..not crowded..and if your into picking up shells this is the beach for ya..
