I took my GPS with me to capture an alternate route that you can take for a change in scenery.  In this route, you leave the trail and walk through the Wortham Subdivision until you reach Wortham Blvd, then return back to the trail.  It doesn't increase the distance much, but gives you variety.

My "Go To" park for exercise and fitness used to be Matzke Park, but I've recently moved and it's a little too far away now so I've been looking for a new place to do my fitness hikes.  As luck would have it, I discovered Wortham Trail.  It was not previously in the site database, so I am adding it so I can log my fitness hikes.

Wortham Trail is a trail that is owned and maintained by the Wortham Subdivision.  It is a concrete paved trail that consists mostly of two loops - one which goes around a manmade lake and another loop which is on the other side of White Oak Bayou.

On this first fitness hike, my girlfriend walked both loops as well as did some off-trail walking along the banks of White Oak Bayou.  You can see the path we took on my track file.  Overall, it's a nice place to walk and a lot of people exercise here after work.
