New Trails at the
George Mitchell Nature Preserve
along the Spring Creek Greenway
Three (3) miles of bike trails have been added to the original two (2) mile trail loop at the Flintridge Drive trailhead of the George Mitchell Nature Preserve along the Spring Creek Greenway. The natural-surface, sustainable, single track trails were designed by Talon Trails. The trails were made possible from a grant from REI-Willowbrook which was sponsored by the Greater Houston Off-Road Biking Association (GHORBA). The grant was matched by The Woodlands Development Company and Precinct 3. Volunteers from the Woodlands Cycling Club and Boy Scouts of Ameria Eagle projects helped to finish clearing the trails. These volunteers also helped re-open the trails which were blocked when many trees fell during Huricane Ike. Click here for a copy of the new trail map.
