The Andy K. Wells Hike and Bike Trail is the first ever of its kind within the City of Killeen. The first phase of the trail will extend from 38th Street west approximately 2.5 miles along Nolan Creek and will connect with the Killeen Community Center and the Gilmore Senior Citizens Center.
The project was made possible through the generosity of Kenny Wells, who donated 9.115 acres of land. In honor of Mr. Wells the City elected to name the trail after his father the late Andy K. Wells and any future extensions to this trail system will be perpetually named the “Andy K. Wells Hike and Bike Trail”.
Of primary importance is that the project will provide an alternative to pedestrians and cyclists who currently must travel two of the busiest thoroughfares in the city. Additionally, it will offer an opportunity for persons of all ages to exercise, travel and enjoy the beauty of areas along Nolan Creek. The trail will provide citizens of Killeen with a health and fitness area never before provided.
The project also provides a pedestrian-activated crossing on 38th street in the vicinity of Water Street, providing a safety factor for students traveling to Killeen High School. In addition to the trail the project will have landscaping, irrigation, and lighting, stretch areas, a pedestrian bridge, a restroom facility and security cameras.
The trail is part of the region's vision to eventually complete a series of trails linking two surrounding lakes, Lake Belton and Still House Hollow Lake.
