Terry Hershey Park at Highway 6 offers a large parking lot and access to Buffalo Bayou's 26-mile paddling trail, though boat launching is challenging with either a steep concrete embankment or a long carry down a fenced walkway to the water.

The location marks mile 0 of the Terry Hershey Park bike path and features fast-flowing water with a midstream obstacle, making it better suited for experienced paddlers. Additional amenities in the park include 10.

42 miles of hike-and-bike trails, a butterfly garden, playground, and wildflower areas.
