..WHEN MOWING! THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD FOR A Motorcycle OR CYCLIST IS GRASS CLIPPINGS. YOU WILL BUST YOUR BUTT IN A NANOSECOND! COME ON PLANO, DONT ALLOW THIS!
Decent trail. Bumps along the way but it’s largely maintained well and connects to bike boulevards.
POSTED IN 2010:
There are crossings of 3 other major thoroughfares (Spring Creek, Parker, Park). You cross at grade, and there are chicanes to slow you down, and the traffic is high speed, so be cautious. You can stop in the median, which is good. Hopefully these will have on demand signals at some point.
(THERE ARE NO SIGNALS ON THIS TRAIL AND CROSSING PARK, PARKER, SPRING CREEK AND LEGACY IS JUST "DANGEROUS!)
DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS ACROSS THOSE CROSSINGS..
HIGH TRAFFIC AT HIGH SPEEDS...
3. The names of the cross streets are not on the posts. This would help in navigation to the East West cross streets.
(SOME, LIKE PARK HAVE THE NAMES NOW), Great job Plano.
4. The South end of the trail ends in a neighborhood.
(IT STILL DEAD ENDS JUST PAST PARK BUT I SEE NEW CONCRETE ON THE PLANO/15TH STREET SECTION 05/25/20).
=====================================
Beware of the DOG POOP. The nerve of Some of these people watching their dog crap on the concrete where we walk and walk away without scooping.... Where's Park Police? :-)
Beware of the "Air Pod" folks who can't hear you.
Beware of the packs of high school kids who block the entire trail...
and have no clue what to do when you yell "On your left" when they are all across the trail.
==================================
DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS RIDE BIKES NEAR THE MAJOR ROAD CROSSINGS,
GO TO THE PARK WITH THE BATH ROOM ON THIS TRAIL FOR THAT.
IT IS MUCH SAFER

The first 2.5 miles are paved out of Farmersville. The next 2.5 miles is crushed rock. It was great for the first 5 miles. I was hoping to do the entire 35 miles but I hit the great Texas Peanut butter soil (TX Clay). After riding through the first section and cleaning the mud off the bike I hit another section. I bailed the trail and went for a pleasant 36 mile ride on the farm roads. Riding the shoulder of 78 is pretty sketchy and I would t recommend it.
Wasn’t impressed. Narrow pathes, not overly clean. Was hoping trails from McKinney can connect into Allen and Plano but not so much.
This is a hidden gem right in the middle of Collin County. I have enjoyed this trail recently and plan to make it my primary destination as much as possible. Absolutely enjoy the trails and quiet nature of the park.
Unless I missed it the trail map doesn’t call out all of the intersections where you must stop and at some points weight a while for traffic to slow. It’s difficult to get up to speed for a substantial amount of time but it’s still a solid ride. Found a couple water fountains on the way but there are few - so stop if you need it. Rode a bike on the trail. * also not a ding against the trail but I missed the turnoff and accidentally went do a wrong stretch and had to double back. Not a big deal but pay attention.
This is a great trail with excellent scenery and views. It’s about 3 hrs round trip, all the way at the end is an awesome stretch if beach at the lake that is perfect for swimming with kids. Perfect fir a refreshing dip before heading back.
I agree with the other negative reviewers. Great surface, but puts vehicle traffic (and train traffic) ahead of cyclists. Feels like a game of chicken where you hope you make it across the intersections in time. Worse are crossings where you can get wheels stuck in railroad track as the trail crosses from one side of the tracks to another. A series of small trails divided by high-speed traffic and train crossings. Can't get up to a reasonable pace before you have to stop again, look both ways, and pray yo make it accross. Should be redesigned with stop signs for cars at most intersections. Ride it once at least to be able to write another one-star review.
This trail is a good length for a walk—3.5 mile concrete trail around a man made lake with just a bit of shade. It seems like a popular place to walk, ride, or fish. However, it’s near Dallas Love, the light rail, and some busy streets. It’s like experiencing a sampling of transportation. It’s the first trail I’ve been on with lots of signs for calling 911. Not sure what that says about this trail. Park in the lots near Lakefield and Northwest. There are much prettier trails than this one.
