This bridge is the end of the trail. From here, you can cross the bridge and walk along the other side (i.e., the Faulkey Gully Trail - North Bank). (Photo by Blaze)

Up to this point, the paved Faulkey Gully Hike & Bike Trail has paralleled this trail on the opposite bank. However, at this intersection, the FGH&BT turns right and runs north along a flood control channel whereas this trail continues to the left. (Photo by Blaze)

The Faulkey Gully Trail - South Bank is an informal dirt trail. It is not a trail maintained by the county parks and recreation and it does not appear as a named trail on Googlemaps. Still, it is a popular trail for joggers, bikers and pedestrians and it's a nice hike. The trails starts at Jones Road and ends at Spring Cypress Road.

At Spring Cypress Road, you can cross the bridge and hike along the Faulkey Gully Trail - North Bank. You read my log of that trail here.

At Jones Road, you can continue south and catch the paved Cypress Creek Hike And Bike Trail (you can read my log of that trail here) or you can cross over and catch the paved Faulkey Gully Hike & Bike Trail (you can read my log of that trail here).
