Leon Vista Park and Trailhead

My entry point into the awesome San Antonio green trail system. You'll find me passing through several times a week- I'm always looking for riding companions!

This path is great, what I love the most about it is that it’s mostly shaded ☺️

Pleasantly surprised because it’s 3 minutes from my HOME! My other son Travis found all these parks around me. I didn’t know they existed due to lack of signage (maybe a good thing) and tree cover. My dog Koda Bear loved this place and so will the rest of the pack. Remember to bring your doggie bag with wipes. The place is so natural and clean. Koda Bear loved seeing the deer run along with the squirrels. #tonyabrego #tonyandthedogs

There's a ton more parking here than I originally realized. I saw a lot of people walking, running, and riding their bikes. The cement paths are well maintained. There's plenty of rocky and fun-looking dirt bike paths winding through the trees. This is a great spot to walk the Leon Vista trailhead.

Decided to check this place out. I'm new to this side of town, so I'm trying to find new places to hike. From what I saw on a short visit, I was impressed. The main trail is paved and connects to other trailhead parking throughout the neighborhoods over here. You can take off from this point and reach O.P. Schnabel in 1.5 miles to make it 3 miles round trip for a good little workout. Great for walking, running, and biking. Trail is plenty wide to accommodate all without feeling like you are going to get run over. I personally like to go off the paved path wherever I go, and there are lots of little trails that shoot off of the paved path. There is lots of wildlife that doesn't seem to spook too easily, so you can take good pictures (birds, squirrels, and deer mostly). This will be a great place for a quick hike and to connect with nature that's close to home when I have limited time.
