Hike and Bike Trails

Footprints on a trail

It is always a great time to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. One of the most exciting initiatives Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation has to connect the community with our stunning natural settings is the development of an off-street hike and bike trail system.

The trails provide an affordable way to exercise and connect our community to the places where we live, learn and play! So grab your bike or running shoes today and make our parks and trails your everyday outdoor gym.

The 2012 Parks Master Plan established a preliminary layout for a trail system that will connect people to our major investment parks and complement existing trails within the park system such as those at West Guth, Salinas, and Suter Parks.

Concepts from the 2012 Parks Master Plan were further developed into the Hike & Bike CC Mobility Plan, as well as the Strategic Plan for Active Mobility completed by the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization.

“In developing the Bicycle Mobility Network that is prescribed in our Strategic Plan, community members indicated that they prefer to ride bicycles as far away from cars as possible. We were able to substitute a full quarter of the Bike Mobility Network—65 miles—with off-road trail connections. These trails will offer a tremendous fitness and recreation opportunity as well as providing a transportation connection that is, in some cases, much shorter and more convenient than the equivalent trip by car,” said Jeffrey Pollack, CCMPO Transportation Planning Director.
