In partnership with the Brooks City Base Economic Development Corporation, the River Authority is managing a trail connection project between the Mission Reach Segment of the San Antonio River and Brooks City Base. The design and construction of the project has been completed and the trail is currently open for the public. The project supports increased attendance, improved visitor experience, and access to the Mission Reach Segment. The approximate .20 mile long, 10-foot wide, hike and bike trail begins at Corpus Christi Road and connects to the Acequia Trail. The remaining portion of the project is FEMA approval for the letter of map revision (LOMR) for project closeout.
