Lit Trails for Early & Night Runs in Texas

Texas has 292 trails with lights for night running in this directory, across 154 cities and towns — Allen, Longview, Houston, North Richland Hills and 150 more. Lights for the pre-dawn start and the after-work run once winter takes the evenings.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
