City Walk Allen's Landing, White Oak and Buffalo Bayous, 7.2 miles

Allen's Landing was at the head of navigation: as far upstream as the the Allen brothers, New York land speculators, could get their steamboat and still have room to turn around. Above the point where the White Oak Bayou joined the Buffalo Bayou there was simply not enough water to navigate commercial shipping. They named their venture Houston after Sam Houston, the popular new president of the Republic of Texas.

Parking:
