Two bodies of water are central features at City and North parks. The larger of the two is the lake at North Park, formed when federal and local agencies built the now-38-foot-tall Converse Dam across Salitrillo Creek in the 1960s. The San Antonio River Authority still operates the dam, one of 28 such flood control dams in Bexar County. Texas Parks and WildlifeSign up for The Daily Reach.Whoops!

The paved trail system can be broken into three distinct areas: Northampton Park, City Park and North Park. I started my run at Northampton Park, where a 0.3-mile concrete path makes a quick loop through dense woods. From there, two parallel paths snake alongside a playground and some exercise equipment before consolidating and crossing over West Salitrillo Creek and passing the Converse City Park baseball fields.
The paved portion of the trail then climbs another hill, crossing next to Featherlite/Miller/City Park pond before turning north. It extends another third of a mile through a sparse mesquite patch, ending at Gibbs Sprawl Road.
