Jack Brooks Park
Some of the Best Trail Running in Texas
This is one of the park's many trail entrances. Even though the sign excludes bikes, the ruts on the trail speak otherwise. To get to the park, take I-45 South and exit on the FM 2004 exit. Once you turn be prepared to almost immediately take a left and go around the dog track. In a couple of minutes you will find the entrance on the right, 5700 FM 2004. Some sources say it is Texas City, others say Hitchcock; doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that it is easy to miss, at least for me, motoring along in the big-ass Tundra.
Most of this post is photos, since that is what you are mostly likely interested in. A bit is my mundane commentary which you may ignore or not, at your leisure.
This is how the trail looks on the easy spots.
Another easy stretch of trail. Don’t get complacent.
Anyone up for Frisbee golf?
A foot bridge on the trail at Jack Brooks Park so you don't have to get your feet wet, sissy.
No horses? In Texas? Really?
Never-ending trail? Yep, this sign says it all.
Why is this arrow padlocked?
This sign is obviously for non-hash house harriers that don’t Understand R U.
A vine disguised as a snake.
A challenging section of the Jack Brook Trail trail. Run really fast and take advantage of the centrifugal force. It’s like a roller coaster without a carney below to catch the change falling out of your pockets.
Another bridge at the Jack Brook Trail trail. Watch out for those roots on the way down. They are real ankle-grabbers.
How the hell did this trail take me to Germany?
The Jack Brook Trail home stretch sign. As indicated, you must climb the tree.
