The Buffalo Bayou Partnership master plan, Buffalo Bayou and Beyond, calls for substantial flood control, recreational and ecological investment along the bayou corridor. The plan also recommends that the Partnership work to promote private development of bayou-friendly amenities like cafes, bike and boat rentals, and other entertainment facilities.

Over the past 8 years, the Buffalo Bayou Partnership has raised or leveraged over $48 million to help develop the trails and facilities needed to make our bayou a world-class attraction.

Our partners are currently working on developing and refitting about 10 miles of trails on both sides of the bayou from Shepherd Drive to Lockwood Drive. The Buffalo Bayou trails will soon link to city and county trails along White Oak and Brays Bayous. Other recent projects include the development downtown parks: Sabine-to-Bagby, Sesquicentennial Park, the North Side Trail, and Allen’s Landing.
