East End Park (Kingwood)
Readers' Choice: Buffalo Bayou
Bike paths are bike paths are bike paths, right? There's some greenery, some type of easy-on-the-tires riding surface, a few bridges or water features, and a couple rest stops along the way. All that's pretty much standard. So what makes the bike path in Kingwood's East End Park so special? The San Jacinto River. The eight-mile track loops the river and offers a waterfront view along much of the way. Both crushed granite and natural trails are mixed in with several bridges and lengthy boardwalks that snake through marsh and swamp areas. Gung-ho weekend warriors looking for a challenging ride might find East End Park's bike path too tame. But for bikers who like a river view, shady rest spots and no crowds, this is the spot.
