Tell us about your experiences with the new signage on the Butler Trail and win a 1L YETI waterproof gear case or HEB $50 gift card. Drawing to be held in early August '26.

A map of all the sign locations can be found on The Trail Conservancy’s website:
1.How often do you visit the Butler Trail?
2.On a scale of 1-5, how easy was it to find your location using the new mile markers? (1 being not easy, 5 being super easy)
Did you know? Mile Marker 0 is located at Auditorium Shores, home to the iconic Stevie Ray Vaughan memorial and Fannie Davis Gazebo! Mile markers continue clockwise along the Trail, with a sign every half mile.

How to track your distance:
1. Find the mile marker closest to where you start.
2. Find the mile marker closest to where you finish.
3. Subtract the starting number from the ending number.
Example:
Start near mile 2 and finish near mile 5.5 → 5.5 − 2 = 3.5 miles traveled

3.Have you used the new maps on the mile markers?
4.How would you rate the clarity of the new directional signage (locations and walking/biking distances)? 1 star being not clear, 5 stars being very clear

5.When using the new maps, have you scanned the QR under the map's legend?
Did you know? Scanning the map's QR code takes you to a webpage with all access information including:
  • Trail map to view or download
  • Virtual tour of the trail
  • Accessible Trail Map to view or download (including trail surface material, slope, lighting, resting areas, accessible restrooms, and more)
