Brazos River Trail

Location: The trail begins at the back of the Baylor Ferrell Center and Baylor Ball Park parking lot.

Beginning at the start of the sidewalk at the back of the parking lot:
  • Follow the sidewalk West, towards I-35
  • Once you cross under I-35, go up the steps (10 or 15 steps)
  • Take a right at the top of the steps and follow the sidewalk along the riverside
  • You will cross under several more bridges until you get to the Waco Suspension Bridge
  • The sidewalk will go up towards the road now, along University Parks Drive
  • Continue down the sidewalk until you make it to Cameron Park (big sign, can't miss it)
  • From here you can explore Cameron Park or head back to your car the way you came
  • 
Length: 5.5miles

Type: Out and Back

Elevation:

Dangers to Avoid: This is a very safe route. There are no road crossings. You may have to plow your way through a few ducks or geese, but I have yet to be bitten by one.

Things to look for:
  • The backside of the Baylor Ballpark
  • The Baylor Women's Soccer Field
  • The Baylor Marina
  • The football practice fields
  • The backside of the Baylor Law School
  • The Waco Suspension Bridge
  • Cameron Park
Environment: The trail itself is all concrete, but once you pass the suspension bridge you can run in the grass between the sidewalk and University Parks Dr.
