Rode this for the first time 6/06/2017. My son and I went all the way around the lake. This is a great bike trail! I found that it was well maintained, the views are great, and there are all kinds of people out enjoying the trail. Kids with training wheels, all the way up to very experienced riders flying by on their road bikes. We rode it on a Tuesday, so it wasn't too busy. My son has been there on the weekend, and it gets kinda crazy. Lots more people. The ride doesn't have too many elevation changes, but there are a few that work you. Overall, it's a great ride!
Great trail. A bit of construction at the moment. Also, when riding directly under the big power lines, I kept getting static shocks when i touched metal on my bike. Luckily that segment is short.
This is a classic "RR right of way turned trail" as it runs through a heavily treed area from downtown toward the urban burbs and SMU. There's a very slight rise from the south end up to the trail, then it's virtually flat. The separate jogging path, for about 50% of the trail, is helpful for all, but the original concrete path is wide enough as long as everyone is being respectful and alert to each other, walkers, joggers, and bicyclists. There are rush hours, but it's mostly just fine.
There are 4 segments of vegetations including native zero scaping and hardwoods.
Trail was extended to Old Denton to the West and Hebron to the North several years ago.
The North end of the trail in Irving is now repaired from flood damage, The South trail extends to Verizon theater and the race track. Look at Google maps with the bike trail overlay. It is pretty accurate. The only issue on the South trail is that there are broken sewage mains that make for a disgusting couple of miles.
The city of Fort Worth has done a few million dollars worth of improvements connecting trails and upgrading other's.
Wonderful trail for bike riding,. peaceful and pretty. only two small roads to cross so no car traffic to worry about. great creek with ducks for viewing along the ride.
Great neighborhood trail perfect for family outing or a 3 to 6 mile run. Trail can connect to the White Rock trail allowing cyclist rides of 30 plus miles. Search the Northaven Trail website for special events and more information.
My wife and I enjoyed it very much. It was close to our hotel and really convent to get to for a great walk.
I lived in Arlington, near the park, for several years. I would ride the trails every day on my bike. When I moved I would still return as often as I could. It's a very peaceful, beautiful set of trails.
Unless you like running/biking directly under power lines, and past major highways, industrial truck yards, and the occasional horse, find another trail. The southern section is close to the Grand Prairie landfill so on a windy day you can't even get out of your car, the smell is awful.
