Is a good option to ride/run 18 miles straight with no vehicle crossings. But some big portions of the path are uncovered and in summer it must feel unbearable. All of the trail is paved, so heat is strong, be prepared with plenty of fluids.
Beautifully maintained. Not as crowded as White Rock Lake. Lots of wildlife and several places to pull off and get close to the Trinity River.
I like using this trail as a connection between Point North Park (far West end of trail) and Spring Creek Nature Area - about a 3 mi stretch. Easy to follow, bike and stroller friendly, a lot of the route is shaded too.
Parking for the trail was full at Knox on a Friday morning at 10:00 am. Parking at Reverchon Park did not feel safe due to multiple homeless people in the parking lot living out of their cars and wandering around. The rec center is only open from 2-7 pm so no bathrooms are available there except between 2-7 pm. I ended up parking at a parking garage near Victory Park that had a two hour limit even though you pay to park there. It is a very nice trail if you live near by but trying to find safe parking and restrooms was enough to keep me away. I will not go back until the parking lots are safe.
I have biked this trail almost daily for two years. It is so littered in garbage, construction waste and wandering homeless that I now need to check the time I'm biking or go with someone. It's a scandal that what little bit of nature Dallas has bothered to preserve is utterly neglected.
This trail seems to be one the city has given up on. Between 635 and Greenville is ok but after Greenville down to Lawther is horrible, dirty too small for heavy traffic and simply not great for cycling. Unless Dallas decides to renovate this once great trail, You’d be better off going up Greenville to SoPac down to White Rock Lake
Great, clean, unobstructed concrete trail. I have run this for years since growing up in Plano. The trail gets better with age.
Turn back and find another spot to walk or run! This looks better on paper. I stopped after a half a mile. There’s no clear or safe access from a major intersection I 35 & Oaklawn Avenue. The city of Dallas has permitted construction to close off access from Highline Dr.,and the only parking there is paid surface parking which is not clearly seen from the Hiline entrance.Trail is dirty. I decided to turn back and go to the Katy Trail to walk. This may be good in the future but in 2022 it’s a hard pass.
Lovely. Long stretches of smooth cement that goes for a long way at at time. Few, if any, seams to give you a bumpy ride or intermittent vibrations every time you hit a seam. Its nice cement. Still, there are several intersections that require an extended stop while traffic sorts until your turn. Not a ride for the intermediate or advanced who is hammering miles, just too many stops. However if you are out for some fun and riding it is above average in most respects.
Despite dedicated walking/running sections that are more suited to running, everyone walks on the concrete sections making cycling more difficult.
