The Northeast San Antonio area is home to many trails and walking paths through the local cities and natural parts of the area. Here are a few notable paths. Did you know? The cities of Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Live Oak, Garden Ridge and Selma each have trail systems connecting to city parks. In Schertz, the Great Northern Trail is a project with the goal of connecting Schertz Parkway to the northern portion of the city near Cypress Point Park. The city of Live Oak has multiple trail systems, with the most notable being the trail at Main City Park which goes around the park pond and through the campus of Northeast Lakeview College. In Selma, the Old Evans Road trails offer a walk through a historic path, passing the Harrison House. This list is not comprehensive.

1 Historic Evans Road Trail Selma’s Historic Evans Road Trail takes a path between two historic sites for the city, Stage Stop Park and the John S. Harrison Historic property. The trail creates a path through the woods, featuring wooden platforms that overlook the creek bank and portion of the original road. The path ends at Olympia Hills Gold Course, marking an area of around half a mile. • 9374 Valhalla, Selma • www.ci.selma.tx.us/125
2 Great Northern Trail The first section of the Great Northern Trail opened in 2022, running from Schertz Parkway along Wiederstein Road. The full trail is a decade- long project meant to add 8 miles of trail to the northern portion of the city. The trail is also planned to connect to a new park at Dry Comal Creek, eventually being part of the Great Springs Project, running from Austin to San Antonio. • 17529 Wiederstein Road, Schertz • www.schertz.com/2045
