Decent smooth surfaces. Diverse urban scenery. Needs better signage in southern portion in Lewisville
Good urban trail..smooth surface.. signage needs improvement in southern Lewisville portion.
Lots of parking at the nature preserve, nice, clean restrooms, beautiful wooded boardwalk trails as well as paved. Connecting also to the Sante Fe and the Bob Woodruff trails. I never knew this trail existed! Great ride!!
This trails also connects with Bob Woodruff and Oak Point Trail in Plano.
This place is really pretty. The pathways are clean and the scenery is refreshing.
..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.
Great trail! My kids had fun with their scooters and skate board. They saw baby turtles and dragon flies! Got lost for a short time (it was out first visit and we were unprepared for the trails). So I advice you to get prepared before diving into trails!
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.
