About This Trail

Imported description

There is 4.5 miles of Richardson's Spring Creek Trail. Although they are just east of Central Expressway, one doesn't realise how close they are to the freeway because of the trees and Spring Creek views. A number of the City's eastern trails originate from this trail, as does the City's western trail. There is a recently completed extension which brings the trail to the north near the George Bush freeway. There is parking at Central and there are benches along the trail.
