This trail is great if you’re looking for a safe, urban trail. All of the streets that intersect the trails have clear cross walks/lights which made me feel more comfortable with my dog. My dog is quite reactive so I’m always looking for trails that have fewer people on them but feels safe and this was exactly that!
The trail was very well kept and there wasn’t any issues on the run! A heads up there’s currently construction at the Trailhead but other than that it was a great run with no issues!
There are a lot of people on the trail, and many people are walking their dogs. The path is really great.
If you are a clipped-in cyclist, the path can be dangerous because young children play on the path. Because of the winding and trees, it's hard to see people standing to talk or children lying down on it.
Generally, the parents who take their children to the path or picnic don't pay attention to cyclists or runners. Very young children are on the path with no adult supervision, or they step in front of bikes to be funny.
The leashed dogs generally lunge at runners and cyclists.
If the path is quiet, it's a great place. The public roads around this are dangerous for cyclists. Texas is generally a very dangerous place to cycle on public roads. I'm not sure how to change this.
Be safe!
The trail is dated but it is very pretty and there is lots of shade. This trail connects to the lake loop if you are desiring more.
This is such a fun ride. You can see the skyline and pass the arboretum as you ride. The lake front provides a slight breeze and it has a wonderful community feel.
I love this trail to take a break from the sun at Whiterock Lake. It connects near winstead and the dam. It provides lots of shade and bridges.
Lots of shade and fun near White Rock, once you pass Woodrow Wilson High there is less shade and many stop signs for car traffic, I am giving 4 stars because of the stop signs.
I love biking on this trail its a very overall great experience. It has very nice greenery and its never too busy. Everyone on it is very friendly. almost everyone I wave to waves back at me and some even with a smile. Definitely recommend for any recreational activities.
It's safe. It's not well lit at night. It takes practice but you'll need to figure out how to connect this trail to the Cottonwood Trail. If you can, you can ride all the way from Richardson to White Rock Lake.
I mean I wouldn’t recommend doing it at night. There’s a good amount of neighborhood action and it’s relaxing to ride a bike on. The belt line crossing is busy but for the most part it’s safe and separate from the road network.
This is a nice surprise in the heart of Dallas. I rode the last 6 miles (Hillcrest Park to Abrams). It's a scenic, mostly flat ride through several parks with lots of trees and shade. The only "unscenic" segment is Forest to Royal where it's next to commercial property.
I rode on a spring weekday morning. Traffic was light: a combination of bikers, runners and walkers. It was dry so I can't comment about standing water after it rains. I can see how low spots can be a problem.
Warning: From Hillcrest Park to Greenville it is wide then narrows south of Greenville. It's adequate for single riders with light traffic.
Regarding safety: I did not see police. That said, there's enough traffic that I always felt safe. Also, there are multiple 911 trail location signs if you need to make an emergency call.
