Spring Creek Greenway

Preservation project features activities

The Spring Creek Greenway is a joint project between Montgomery County Precinct 3 and Harris County Precinct 4. The greenway connects 12,000 acres of forest on each side of the creek and offers a variety of ecotourism, educational opportunities and outdoor recreation.

The 71-acre Montgomery County Preserve, located off Pruitt Road and opened in 2002, is home to more than 30 varieties of trees, 30 types of plants, 20 species of birds and more than a dozen species of animals. The Preserve also features a 1-mile nature trail.

The 11,000-square-foot Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center, located at 1300 Riley Fuzzell Road, houses a nature center, community center, a sheriff's patrol office, pavilion and nature trails.

Among the outdoor recreational activities available along the greenway include bird watching, kayaking, horseback riding and fishing.
