The Santa Fe Trestle Trailthe first off-road trail in Dallas to cross the Trinity Riveropened for use in late 2011. The centerpiece of the trail is a steel rail trestle that was originally built for the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway Company in 1879.

In conjunction with a product from Presto Geosystems called Geoweb, the trail design helps minimize maintenance and increase sustainability. A large part of the trail is located in USACE flood control lands of Lewisville Lake and therefore subject to flooding in severe weather, so use of the Geoweb with the DG helps improve the trails resistance to the elements.

The bridges are made of weathering steel to provide a rustic look and the concrete crossings are stamped with a wooden plank pattern to further add to the natural experience. Being in a USACE wildlife management area, visitors can expect to see a variety of native flora and fauna. Interpretive panels are provided to enhance the inherent educational opportunities of the area and awareness of the natural systems. These signs are intended to e
