Buffalo Bayou Trail Photos

Some parts of the trail have a lot of trash, graffiti, abandoned or demolished structures. Exercise caution in these not-so-nice spots. (Photo by Blaze)

There is a scrap metal recycling company on the other side (north bank) of Buffalo Bayou. Walking past it is noisy and unaesthetic. (Photo by Blaze)

The other end of the trail terminates at Lockwood Dr. (Photo by Blaze)

The trail ends where a fence cuts off the path just under the train bridge that spans Buffalo Bayou. (Photo by Blaze)

Some parts of the trail are poorly maintained and overgrown. (Photo by Blaze)

The trail runs along the south bank of Buffalo Bayou and gives you a nice view of downtown Houston. (Photo by Blaze)

A lot of landscaping and park improvement work was being done in the area of Eleanor Tinsley Park. It will be nice once it is finished. (Photo by Blaze)

This is a view of downtown from the end of the trail on the northeast side of Houston. This part was not very nice or safe. (Photo by Blaze)

Some parts of the trail like this one near downtown were extremely noisy due to the traffic on the roads above and not very safe to walk through as there were a lot of homeless and unkempt characters milling about. (Photo by Blaze)

Remote places like this were a little hairy because they could be prime spots for attackers to hide. (Photo by Blaze)

I was tempted to try and walk across this bridge, but the planks were completely burned and there was nothing to hold onto. The bridge was 20-30' in the air, so it was hard to balance. I decided it was best to turn around rather than risk a fall. (Photo by Blaze)

This is the part of the old, dilapidated train bridge that I could not cross. The wooden track crossmembers were badly burned and the fence was destroyed so there was nothing to hold onto making it unsafe to cross. (Photo by Blaze)

This is one of the parts of the trail that run underneath the freeway overpasses and is not very safe. (Photo by Blaze)

This shot gives you an idea of the important role the bayou played in the Houston's history. (Photo by Blaze)

This is another view of the trail, near downtown. (Photo by Blaze)

There are several connector bridges like this one that help you cross over the bayou to get to the other side. (Photo by Blaze)

This shot was taken from the bridge at Shepherd Drive on the west end of the Buffalo Bayou Trail. It provides a nice view of downtown Houston. (Photo by Blaze)

This is what the Buffalo Bayou Trail signs look like. (Photo by Blaze)
