The Columbia Tap Rail-Trail is a nearly 4-mile paved greenway cutting through Houston's Third Ward and East Downtown (EaDo), built on the historic 1856 Houston Tap and Brazoria Railway corridor that once hauled cotton and sugar from plantations to the Port of Houston. The flat, 10-foot-wide path runs from Emancipation Avenue near Shell Energy Stadium south through Texas Southern University's campus, beneath Interstate 45, across Brays Bayou, and terminates at Dixie Drive near Highway 288. Lined with native trees, lit for nighttime use, and dotted with benches and interactive art installations, it offers a serene urban greenway steeped in Black Houston history. It suits cyclists, joggers, dog walkers, and history enthusiasts seeking an easy, accessible trail with strong connectivity to the broader Houston trail network.
