About

Leon Creek Greenway is the backbone of San Antonio's trail network, running 16+ miles from Lackland to Loop 1604. The paved path hugs the creek, with live oaks and cypress providing cover on most sections. Popular with cyclists, joggers, and dog walkers. Flood events can close sections after heavy rain — check conditions before heading out.

Shade Details

Mostly shaded along creek corridor; exposed stretches near Ingram and Culebra crossings.

Conditions & Tips

Sections close after heavy rain. Summer mornings are manageable; avoid midday June–September.
