This multi-use path in the Near Northwest District of Houston begins at Council Grove Lane and runs along the left bank of the creek to the Streamside Drive Gateway parklet. The trail continues downstream, passing under Maple Tree Drive with Basin K Test Plots visible to the east. Passing the Maple Tree Drive Gateway parklet, the final segment runs south to Victory Drive.

The Basin K Test Plot is an experimental slope vegetation station operated by the Houston Parks Board until 2024. The purpose is to test native plants as slope cover to improve water permeability and reduce maintenance costs.
