Starting in northwest Harris County, White Oak Bayou travels Southeast to the historic Allen’s Landing downtown where it joins Buffalo Bayou.

With over 18 miles of public greenspace and hike-and-bike trails within city limits, White Oak Bayou Greenway provides access to Watonga Parkway Park (home to one of Houston’s largest bat roosts), T.C. Jester Park, Stude Park, White Oak Park, and Hogg Park. In 2018, the White Oak Bayou Greenway trail was connected to the Buffalo Bayou trail at the foot of University of Houston-Downtown, which heads westward to Buffalo Bayou Park and Memorial Park. The White Oak Bayou Greenway trail also intersects with the Heights “MKT” Hike and Bike Trail three times, passing through the historic Heights and Woodland Heights communities.
