Access the Acequia Trail from Mission San Juan, just off of Mission Road. The Acequia trail takes hikers and bicyclists along the historic irrigation ditches of Mission San Juan. Portions of this trail are gravel. Travel 1.2 miles north on this trail to reach the San Antonio River Hike & Bike Trail. The San Antonio River Hike & Bike Trail connects all 5 missions in San Antonio along a beautiful stretch of waterways, native plants, and wildlife. Hike or bike along this trail and stop at each mission site, or travel straight down to the southernmost mission site, Mission Espada, approx 2.5 miles south along the river.

The Acequia Trailhead is located at the entrance to the parking lot of Mission San Juan.
