Description:
The scenic Campion Trail offers an eclectic mixture of natural and urban views as it travels through the Dallas suburb of Irving. Currently, the trail is comprised of separate north and south sections that together total 7 miles of wide, flat and paved pathway. Future plans call for connecting the two segments as part of a 22-mile greenbelt along tributaries of the Trinity River.

The longer northern section follows the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and is an important recreational and commuting route. The trail begins in the Valley Ranch community at Sam Houston Trail Park. From there, it travels south to Las Colinas, Irving's central business district.

The southern section follows the West Fork of the Trinity River for about 2 miles. It begins in Trinity View Park, where you'll find drinking fountains, restrooms, picnic shelters, grills and athletic fields. Additional amenities can be found along the way at Twin Wells Park and the Mountain Creek Preserve.

Campion Trail..is Great.
By j6102 in June, 2011
I just like to say that it was only a few months ago that I began to ride and I must say I'm sorry to myself that it took me so long to do this,yet Now that I'm out here it is great the Campion Trails are just what I needed. the paved trail are really clean and the Flat surface is so easy to move around on.I like the Ideal of having the chance to see the river as I ride and it's really nice that I don't have to just keep riding in the Sun the whole time being that part of the trails are in the shade. Thanks to all who have help put this together and Thanks to all the Nice people that i have got to know so far out on this lovely trail.
I enjoyed it! May 2011

I liked this trail a lot. It is easy to get to and has numerous parking locations along it. The map doesn't show any restrooms, but there are Port-A-Potties available. It is almost exactly half in the shade and half in full sun. The trail is relatively flat and paved. It is wide, so there's lots of room for everyone. It goes along a lake, a river, and a canal, so there is always something interesting to look at. I needed a little more time on the bike, so I took some of the cut-offs into Valley Ranch and Las Colinas and rode on nice, mostly empty streets to add on some miles.
