Opinion: It took me about an hour to map out the Northeast San Antonio urban park's trails, frequently doubling back to explore some of the smaller paths.
Approximately 2.5 miles of paved and unpaved trailIt took me about an hour to map out all the trails, frequently doubling back to explore some of the smaller paths after completing the larger loops. As with many parks in the San Antonio area, the trail map didn’t exactly match the trails. All the concrete trails on the map were the same as advertised, but several of the dirt paths didn’t match either the map or the signs pointing to where they likely used to be.
Though the map shows it connects to a concrete path called Buck Crossing, I found that Great Horned Overlook stopped at a ravine, cut through by a creek. I was surprised by the volume of water in the creek after spring rains and the steepness of the banks, which looked at least 15 feet high. The edges of the ravine are loose and brushy, and I found it difficult to stoop-walk down to the creek below. Be careful not to slip while exploring that area.
Armadillo Alley supposedly connects to a dirt path called Red Eared Turtle Way, which parallels the northern portion of a concrete path called Diamondback Way. This path had clearly been a trail at one point, and the signs marking its endpoints are still standing. However, a lack of maintenance and foot traffic over the years means the forest has retaken the trail, and I couldn’t distinguish any path through the understory.
One area of dirt trail doesn’t appear on the map, though it was probably the best-defined of the dirt trails I found at the park. Shaped like a wobbly tuning fork, it connects Red-Tailed Hawk Loop to a concrete trail called Cardinal Access, which ends at a residential street called Denae Drive. When I got home, I checked the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector’s map and found that the trail cuts through an area that looks like it has been parceled out into future homesites.
