Trail Joins Cypress Creek Hike & Bike Trail

The trail crosses a small flood reservoir and then joins the Cypress Creek Hike & Bike Trail (paved) near the HP campus. (Photo by Blaze)

The trail goes under the bridge at Jones Road and continues. (Photo by Blaze)

The trail will eventually pass under the bridge at Cypresswood Drive, seen in the distance. (Photo by Blaze)

The trail goes along the bank of Cypress Creek. (Photo by Blaze)

This is the end of the paved trail (left), but a small dirt trail begins (right). (Photo by Blaze)

This the is trailhead. The first 1/3 mile of the trail is paved asphalt. (Photo by Blaze)

I saw these inconspicuous signs at Lakewood Crossing Park pointing across the street. This is where the Cypresswood Hike & Bike Trail starts. (Photo by Blaze)

The Cypresswood Hike And Bike Path is a trail that starts across the street from Lakewood Crossing Park, a small neighborhood park on Cypresswood Drive near Jones Road.

There is a small white sign pointing to where the trail is. That's it! No trail name or information. The trail is paved for approximately 1/3 mile and goes along a flood reservoir. The paved trail ends, but a dirt trail continues (and that's where the hiking fun starts!)

The trail continues around the reservoir and then goes along the bank of Cypress Creek. It goes under the bridge at Cypresswood Drive and the bridge at Jones Road. Along the way, the trail branches off at various points, but all branches generally rejoin the main trail.

The Cypresswood Hike And Bike Path is an informal system of dirt hike/bike trails. The trail I hiked basically goes past the Jones Road bridge and swings around behind the HP (Hewlett-Packard) campus, but there it joins the paved asphalt Cypress Creek Hike & Bike Trail. You can read my log of that trail here.
