Paul G. Boorman Trail

One of the longest and newest trails in Longview. The Paul Boorman trail offers a meandering and peaceful walk-through lovely pine woods. The trail is a wonderful place to cycle, longboard, and even rollerblade. This trail, named after a long-serving city employee, is one of the longest walking trails in Longview. It runs through the Grace Creek corridor, including Lois Jackson Park, where you’ll find a playground and picnic areas.

Length: 3.0 miles

Amenities: drinking fountains, fitness equipment, and a restroom

Boorman Trail Markers Map In case you’re asking about the signs on poles along the trail, those are 911 markers for Longview PD and Longview FD. They are labeled PB-1 through PB-12 and are tied to the City’s GPS because the Trail is too long to have one official address. They are approximately 1/4 of a mile apart, but they are not mileage markers. In case of an emergency, please make note of your nearest 911 mile marker to alert first responders.

Cargill Long Trail

Cargill Long is only the second trail in Texas to be designated a National Recreation Trail by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior! The trail follows an old rail bed along a wooded corridor among suburban neighborhoods and parks. The winding trail is perfect for cyclists seeking a scenic view, and walkers looking for the perfect stroll. Exercise stations also dot the trail, and a restroom is available for public use. You’ll also find a pavilion, picnic tables, and a playground.
