The Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail stretches 6 miles from Lion's Park to Getzendaner Park in Waxahachie. For most of its length, the trail runs along or very near Waxahachie Creek. The trail passes Waxahachie Rodeo Arena and Fairgrounds, Rogers Street Bridge south of downtown Waxahachie, and the Old City Cemetery.
A small section of this trail (0.2 miles) is constructed on an abandoned railroad grade. The eastern half of the trail parallels Waxahachie Creek, an abandoned Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) rail line, and an active Burlington Northern Sante Fe (BNSF) rail line.
Access points for the trail with parking available are at Lion's Park, Rodeo and Fairgrounds, Rogers Street, and Getzendaner Park.
