My hub and I parked one of our cars at Celeste HS and the other at the Farmersville Trailhead parking lot. Starting at 8:10am from the trailhead, we hiked the 13.2 miles. We are in moderate shape and our feet were dead when we reached the high school around 1pm. I have large blisters on the outside of each foot and hub has blisters on both of his achiles tendons. The trail was great. It was clean and had many benches and trashcans within 3 miles of the trailhead. The trail crosses many streets and many bridges. The trees shade a majority of the trail. There aren't any benches between Merit and Celeste and much of the trail is rocky.
Not the best for single women to walk alone. So take a friend a stick or some maze if you do! Better for riding bikes.
Perfect for all kinds of human fueled wheels.
Great trail, some crossings are a bit sketchy. Over all a great ride for a recumbent bike great places to stop get water and restrooms along the way. Once you reach grape vine from cambridge or iron horse trail head there are great places to eat.
My friend and I were biking down the northhaven trail and ended up going onto this trail. Immediately we felt unsafe as there was trash and homeless people along the sides. We kept going hoping it would clear up but as we passed two homeless men one of them jumped at me, trying to grab me off my bike. Thankfully he didn’t reach me in time but started to run after me. He proceeded to bark and growl while doing this. I have never been more scared for my safety. We found the closest exit and immediately got off the trail. Was very disappointed and will NEVER go back.
Beautiful walk, lots of wildlife Beaver, stork, crane, ducks, turtles, and of course rabbits and squirrels. Lots of birds chirping too
The drainage on this trail is subpar and it is often closed during rainy season! I am unaware of a source to see if sections of trail are closed due to flooding!
Horrible! People here only think of themselves and don’t care about others and need to learn the term SHARE THE TRAIL
Perhaps the negative reviews were also about things not being completed but at least for me. I really enjoyed this trail. Apart from having to stop at crossroads where there is a lot of traffic it is smooth, very cynic from current to a little past Lake Louisville. I used to riding in Dallas from Oakcliff to the Trinity river, so this is very enjoyable.
I rode the Trinity Forest and AT&T trail on a weekday in early April 2025. It was a very windy day but there is a lot of cover and shade. There were some flooded low points but very passable. I saw only 4 hikers in the 19 miles I rode. I highly recommend checking this trail out. This is a super trail that deserves 5 stars!

It's a direct trail between 2 good routes. There are street crossings, and there can be mud in wet weather. It's very good for normal commuting, but I would not bring kids who aren't comfortable with traffic.
