The Trailist: Northern Salado Creek has network of mountain bike trails

That's why, at the San Antonio Report, we work hard to provide in-depth, nonpartisan coverage that keeps voters informed.Skip to contentIt had been a while since I checked out the trails along the Salado Creek Greenway, and I was reminded last week of why. Riding these trails reminds me of how I felt last summer watching the movieNo complete and accurate maps exist of this constantly shifting trail network that includes well upward of 7 miles of singletrack on the North Side.

As a primarily cross-country rider, I don’t mind exploring new routes with technical riding and more of an emphasis on picking through obstacles than hitting jumps or drops.

Soon after passing Hardberger Park, the trail hooked right into what would be a small waterfall cut by a stream in a rainier year. Last week, it was just a series of limestone shelves that made for tricky riding. The cramped trail squeezed between some rocks and roots and I couldn’t quite make it through without putting my feet down.

Here, the riding was just easy enough to maintain some speed, though the piles of loose rocks, roots, logs and ledges required enough problem-solving to keep me alert. The trail passes a beautiful cliff pocked with grottos visible from the greenway, then follows along the creekway with at least two well-worn parallel paths. I’ve only mapped one here, as they seem to intersect several times.

This stretch of greenway offers a short section of singletrack on the west side that runs about 0.6 miles. It’s one of the least rocky and easiest trails in the area and includes multiple paths through grassy creek bottoms. It returns to the greenway near the trailhead just south of the Loop 1604 overpass.
