モンゴメリー郡周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ19

This trailhead, also known as Richards Trailhead Parking Lot #1, is the official access point for the Wilderness Section—the first of 11 segments of the 96-mile Lone Star Hiking Trail (LSHT) from west to east. Parking is available, and there is a posted sign with up-to-date trail information. Access to the trailhead is free to the public. There is no restroom here, and potable water is available only at Double Lake and Stubblefield recreation areas, so bring a filter or pack plenty of water. From this trailhead, the Little Creek Loop Trail, also part of the designated LSHT system, branches off in a 13-mile loop, connecting back onto the main trail. It is popular with day hikers looking to spend a few hours exploring, as well as backpackers heading out on the “Grand Loop”—a 30-mile hiking adventure that connects with several other trails in the area.

The north side of Lake Woodlands has a great little network of paved trails along the lakeside, from Northshore Park up to Research Forest Drive. The lake itself has decorative fountains and it is not uncommon to see people boating out on the water.

22,000-acre Lake Conroe is a popular destination for watersports of all varieties. There are a number of marinas, resorts, restaurants, and boat rental establishments dotted around its 157 miles of shoreline. The southern and central portions of the lake are more developed, while the northern section is mostly surrounded by National Forest.

The goal of the Spring Creek Greenway is to provide a 40-mile corridor of forested trail that will include habitat for eagles, foxes, salamanders, and more. Due to all of the trees along the route, and its proximity to Spring Creek, this is a great trail to ride to escape the heat.

This bridge is a great spot to check out Lake Woodlands. Northshore Park is on one side of the bridge, while the trail extends in both directions.

There are a lot of flowy singletrack trails for hiking and mountain biking at George Mitchell Nature Preserve. There's also a paved greenway that passes through the area, so you can make your ride as long or as short as you want.

Shadow Lake is a great small pond surrounded by plants and teeming with fish, turtles, frogs, and waterfowl in The Woodlands, Texas. There is a boardwalk around the pond and some easy walking trails, but if you decide to explore them, please note that cycling is not permitted. This is a great place to stop and look for any one of these animals and enjoy the scenery.

The Cochran Trail runs north to south down the eastern end of the William Goodrich Jones State Forest. It's a lovely woodland to explore, with a network of trails on a grid. The intersections have street sign style waymarkers that indicate what each trail is.
