Work on Terry Hershey Trail Extension from Katy Fwy North to Addicks Dam underway (July 2012)

Terry Hershey Park & Trail parking lot located just South of I-10 provides access to Memorial Loop segment of Terry Hershey Trail, playgrounds, and future trail extension running North to Addicks Reservoir, which can be reached through underpass under Katy Freeway and feeder roads.

The underpass under Katy Freeway (Interstate 10) has been available for a while, but there was no trail
to speak of to continue on North to the Addicks Dam Road and Reservoir

Clearing work is underway on the segment North of I-10 running along Langham Creek
up to the flow control gate at Addicks Reservoir
