An 8-mile linear park along the San Antonio River connecting four historic missions, featuring restored native landscapes, public art, and excellent bird watching. Families love biking or strolling the paved trail while spotting herons, turtles, and kingfishers. The flat, accessible path is stroller-friendly and good for family bike rides.
