The Kirby Trail can easily be extended to 10 km by incorporating the Sandhill Loop, which follows a section of the Turkey Greek Trail. This is essentially a sandy singletrack trail that winds through pine forest, offering glimpses of marshy areas and flowing water.

The serene waters of Village Creek feature on the Kirby Nature Trail. The trail is a great way to experience the natural beauty of the Big Thicket and also links onto the 17-mile (27 km) Turkey Creek Trail. The Nature Trail here is split into two main loops, the Outer and Inner. Perhaps the most satisfying run is to do both in a figure 8 route. (At the time of writing – September 2022 – the bridge across Village Creek is closed due to flood damage.)

The Kirby Nature Trail is a beautiful way to get acquainted with the Big Thicket. It comprises three loops, two big – Inner and Outer – and the smaller Cypress Loop, which branches off the Inner Loop. At the Village Creek crossing, the 17-mile (27 km) Turkey Creek Trail begins.

The Sandhill Loop is a one-mile (1.6 km) loop off the main Turkey Creek Trail. It takes you through an intriguing ecosystem, with desert plants like prickly pear cactus. The reason these kinds of plants thrive here is the sandy soil in this region of the woods. (At the time of writing – September 2022 – the bridge across Village Creek is closed due to flood damage. This means the Sandhill Loop can only be accessed from the trailhead to the north on Gore Store Road.)
