Lake Robbins

Highlight • Lake

Lake Robbins is a nice buffer against the concrete mass of I-45, which sits on the east side of the lake. The west side, by contrast, is much more tranquil, with the Woodlands Waterway curving along the shore — so you can run west or east from here while still staying along the water.

The Woodlands Waterway

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Woodlands Waterway is considered the "lifeblood of the city" and is lined on both sides of the water by a paved walkway that a lot of people use as a commuter trail and exercise trail. You pass sculptures, parks, and fountains as you walk along the water's edge.

Tea Cup Island and Lake Woodlands View

Highlight • Lake

South Shore Park is a minimal park that offers some pretty sweet views of Lake Woodlands. You can either stick to the bike path or leave your bike behind for a moment while you walk the boardwalk out to Tea Cup Island.
