Bicycling Information
 

Bicycling is a popular activity in the park, but there are no bicycles for rent in the park.  While riding on the beach is allowed, the park has no riding trails.  Please use appropriate caution when bicycling to, from, or within the park and wear appropriate clothing and a helmet. There are no bike lanes along the highway leading to the park or over the JFK Causeway from Corpus Christi, so please be sure that your bicycle is as visible as possible with lights and/or reflectors, reflective tape or other reflective materials.

The fee for biking or walking into the park is $5.00, and the annual pass is $20.00.

Happy riding!

The National Park Service arrowhead contains a white buffalo, an animal sacred to many native Americans.
