Do not use the low-elevation crossing when water is flowing into or out of the basin as you can be swept into deep water.

Description

This loop around the basin begins at the Gessner, runs west along Brookriver Drive then turns north at the Beltway 8 frontage road. There is a low-elevation crossing where the trail turns east along the right bank of White Oak Bayou to return to the origin.

There are a few trees along the bayou side that shade the trail, and the woodlands inside the basin offer a distinctly more attractive view than some other drainage basin loops. The relatively remote location means that wildlife such as raccoons and skunk may be observed in the area.

Flora & Fauna

Raccoon, skunk, armadillo.
