The references to the various parts of the master plan for the Howard Peak Greenway Trails System can be confusing. The Howard Peak Greenway Trails System is the cityapproved and city funded plan to circle the metropolitan area of San Antonio, TX with connecting hike and bike trails along San Antonio area's major creek systems so the city parks will be interconnected. The Salado Creek, with some of its larger tributary creeks, are part of this greenway trail system.
This portion of the North Salado Creek Greenway is anchored at Blanco Road where the Phil Hardberger Park is located. This section of the overall greenway belt connects from Blanco Road northward to Huebner Road. There is another trailhead at Huebner Road that will be expanded onward as more funding is appropriated in coming years. For now, the northward reach of the greenway from Hardberger Park is completed and in use.
The parking lot at the end of Voelcker Lane connects paths into Hardberger Park and paths of the Salado Creek Greenway. In the middle of the Voelcker Lane parking lot a cluster of directional guidance signage, a group of toilet facilities, and a North Salado Creek Greenway You Are Here map for the southern reach from Blanco Road to West Avenue is located.
This You Are Here sign is at the beginning of the north reach trail heading toward Huebner Road. The hike and bike path is a 12 foot wide concrete pathway that follows the meandering of the Salado Creek from this sign to its terminus at Huebner Road, about 2 miles away. There is another You Are Here map along this route at about the half way point. This You Are Here map also serves as a flora and fauna informational board.
