Trails with Mile Markers in Texas

Texas has 66 trails with mile markers in this directory, across 46 cities and towns — Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso and 42 more. Marked miles for pacing and measured intervals, for when GPS drifts under trees.

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.
