These two bayous connect downtown at U of H Downtown. Trails from White Oak come in from the Heights and along Buffalo from points upstream and west.
Buffalo Bayou Partnership has been thinking about these connections as explained in their long range/master plan. http://www.buffalobayou.org/documents/BBP_MasterPlanFeb2011website3...
As more connections are created upstream of the confluence of White Oak and Buffalo, we’ll have some really cool loops!
A few miles upstream on both bayous, there are a few interesting opportunities to connect White Oak and Buffalo. These connections would also provide a connection between Montrose and The Heights.
