The Dam Road Loop

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:

• Run East towards the La Salle Ave parking lot exit.
• Cross over La Salle to the Baylor intramural field's parking lot
• Run across the intramural fields towards the Brazos River
• On the North East corner of the fields take the dirt trail into the trees
• About 50 yards later the trail empties onto a dirt road, follow the road
• The road will split 2 times, go left each time and follow it as it curves
• The road will empty out onto University Parks Drive, just past the Outpost and Big 12 Apartments
• Take a right  (West) onto University Parks Drive and head back to the Ferrell Center
• Take the first entrance and head to the back of the parking lot to the head of the sidewalk.

Length: 2.5 miles

Type: Loop

Elevation:



Dangers to Avoid: There are two road crossings, both of which are crossing La Salle. Possible wildlife once you enter the trees when exiting the intramural fields. On University Parks Dr. you will be running on the shoulder of the road, which is about 4 to 5 feet wide. The dirt road is technically city property I believe...but if you run it according to the directions, there are no signs.

Things to look for:

• The Ferrell Center
• Baylor Intramural Fields
• The concrete dam that keeps the Brazos River deep and slow through downtown
• Trees, and dirt

Environment: About half of the run is on dirt, grass, or gravel, which is nice on the joints. Because it is kind of secluded, I would only run in the daytime.
