Trails

The trails in Bridgeland are designed to appeal to a wide variety of homeowners seeking a broad range of activities.

The conceptual land plan will feature a hierarchy of trails, border to border to provide physical links for pedestrian/bicycle traffic to various villages, village centers, activity centers, etc. Exercise trails with fitness stations will be scattered through the project as well as Nature trails along waterways and creeks to provide views of water fowl, aquatic plants/grasses and open up educational opportunities.

Escape from your hectic day with a long peaceful walk along any one of these trails just steps from your front door.

Cypress Creek Trail

The six-mile Cypress Creek Trail is set along the historic Cypress Creek Corridor, a 1,000-acre nature area and creek system bordering the northern edge of the Bridgeland community. The trail offers a mix of pathways, with sidewalks leading to the main trail, which features decomposed granite. A series of secondary trails composed of rustic wood chips weaves through more densely wooded areas.

Along the trail, there are wildlife observation areas amid the trees and on Cypress Lake, as well as “points of interest” with benches and educational signage pertaining to the history of the area and indigenous plants and animals. Hikers can glimpse some of the 140 species of birds already identified in the area. A floating dock has been installed and the other amenities along the trail’s first 1.5 miles are now complete.

Residents can access the trailhead for Cypress Creek Trail at Oak Meadow Park, a 30-acre wooded setting that offers picnic areas, an 18-hole disc golf course nestled between the banks of Cypress Lake and Cypress Creek. Residents can enjoy a stocked lake and a covered pavilion with complimentary recreation equipment and convenient restrooms . The trailhead includes a seating area and a map of the trail system.

Central Creek Trail

This trail will meander along the main central thoroughfare in the Bridgeland community and will cater to those looking for an afternoon power walking session or a casual evening stroll along the lakes. This trail will be more urban in character and be the central linkage in the trail system. It will also link communities to the future Town Center.

Langham Creek Trail

The southern most trail, will serve as a buffer to all the surrounding nature. Over time, the trail will become thicker and more heavily wooded, similar to the Cypress Creek Trail where bird watchers can go to spot one of the 140 species of birds that have touched down on the Bridgeland landscape.

House-Hahl Trail

This unique trail is named after the "old House and Hahl" road that stretches across the Bridgeland landscape. The mile long first phase of this trail includes numerous exercise stations with individual signs to assist you and enhance your exercise outing. This asphalt trail is steps from your front door and is perfect for walking the dog, biking, or jogging and connects you to The Shores Lake Trail or First Bend Lake Trail.

The second phase of House-Hahl trail is now complete. The extension has doubled the trail's existing size and nearly 1,000 trees were planted to give it a true nature feel.

The Shores Lake Trail

A 2.5 mile sidewalk trail winding around the lakes surrounding Bridgeland’s first community, The Shores.

This trail is steps from resident’s front doors and is appropriate for power walks, jogging, or walking with family and friends.

Future community trails will be woven throughout each neighborhood and the surrounding landscape of Bridgeland designed to provide residential connectivity to the activity centers, village centers and the future town center.
