Trails
Roy C Burroughs Park (Tomball)
GHORBA is pleased to announce the expansions of the trail system at Roy C Burroughs Park in Tomball. The 6-7 miles of trails were planned in 2006, and construction began March 2007.
The existing trails are very smooth, very few roots, no drops & only a single climb of note. There’s only about a mile of true singletrack on the property & really nothing that presents a challenge – unless you climb the sandy hill along the powerline right-of-way.
That said, it’s a very good place to take kids that you’re introducing to the sport. If you go, be careful down in the creek bottoms – I’ve met several water moccasins on the trail there. Additionally, be aware that the low-lying areas of the trail get very muddy very fast & stay that way a long time.
Professional trail builders Ryan Spates and Susan Stormer working with Talon Trails, mapped out the first section. The trails are designated as “multi-use”, but they will be built to IMBA standards from a clean slate.
If you’d like to volunteer to get the remainder completed, please contact the trail steward.
