Peckinpaugh Preserve

Trails had many fallen trail but still great time walking all through all the trails. A lot to walk through and not too complicated. They have maps at the beginning to help guide you. Very satisfied for my firsts time hiking

Their trails are like a maze. There are a lot of well-​maintained trails packed into the forest and Spring Creek shores. Our hiking group, Houston Area Trails and More, got 9.96 miles of hiking out of an afternoon visit and we still hadn’t done all of them. The terrain varied between sand and dirt. For Houston standards, the trails had wide elevation changes. The trails in the forest had a lot of shade.
There is a lake where several people were fishing. On the trails we also ran into lots of locals. We did not see any animals out there other than birds and a rabbit. The fields had wildflowers and berry plants.
We parked in the parking lot off Riley Fuzzell Road. There were roughly 50? parking spots. Three police cars were also parked there. There is a building where you can get colorful maps of the maze of trails and use restrooms. I didn’t see any water fountains or restrooms out in the trails.
