Honestly a great trail, good scenery, a lot of wild life and few rest spots along the way. Rode really well with a recumbent bike would highly recommend this 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.

FYI:

June 1, 2023 - Part of the trailway, from FM 1195 in Mineral Wells to the Vietnam War Memorial, is closed until further notice. Please observe closure signs for your safety.
Rode part of the trail on 08/03/24. Trail is still closed east of Hwy 1195. According to other reviews it has been closed for at least a year. And maintenance on the open stretch west of Hwy 1195 does not seem to not exist. So right now I cannot recommend riding the trail.
We rode this trail Saturday. We parked at the trailhead in Mineral Wells after driving three hours. The goal was to change in the advertised restrooms, fill up water, and head east to Weatherford. We were disappointed to find the restrooms locked, but adapted and changed in the truck instead. The first several miles were paved. The trail became crushed gravel at the state park pay station. We rode a little further east from the pay station to find a bridge blocked off due to structural damage. We discussed how odd it was that there was not any info about the bridge at the pay station that wanted $7.00 a person to ride, and continued on by hiking the bike down through the creek and around the broken bridge. A little further on we found ourselves fenced in and facing a huge washout. We could either get the bike across the washout or head back out past the broken bridge. We chose to go forward and get the bike across the washout. I am glad we did because a little further down the trail we came upon a beautiful steel girder bridge over a clear creek! We spent a little time enjoying the few and hit the trail again. Imagine our dismay when we came to some orange cones and barrels with in the trail near the Vietnam War Museum. After talking to the museum docent, we discovered that the trail has been “closed” for a while on the section we hiked/carried our bike over. We would have gone around had there been any information anywhere, although getting through the broken sections wasn’t a big challenge at all. After visiting the museum, we continued east. The trail is in ok shape with multiple soft areas that might cause a fall. Also, the only water was found on the Weatherford side, although the maps showed more locations for water. All in all, it was a fun one way ride. We chose to return by highway to the Mineral Wells trailhead to avoid soft spots, ginormous holes, and broken bridges. If you decide the ride, the Crazy Water Hotel is a fun place to stay. Don’t miss the Vietnam War Museum, either!
Nice trail. Very popular and busy. A few small inclines. O r of my favorites
Took my family out to ride and started at the southern point. The write up suggests scenic views but unless you count landfills, fences, fire hydrants and highway barricades as scenery, you will be disappointed. Signage is terribly lacking and in many places, so too is the trail cleanliness (broken glass, garbage, etc). I found it both funny and disheartening that the path goes directly in front of a parks and rec building.
We rode from Mineral Wells east. Paved section was passable but look for breaks and gulleys along the way. The first section of fee trail was not finely crushed anything- rocks and cinders washed out . Once we found the section of crushed limestone it was good until we reached 3 mile spot at 1195 road crossing . Trail closed due to a bridge out. No idea which one. No warning at trail head. No idea signs detours. None At trailhead
We rode from Denton to Corinth round trip. Loved how easy it is to access the trail, parking close to the police station hoping on to the trail and when done, Denton has lots of good options for lunch. The only down side was the zig zag gates at some of the road crossings.
I love this trail and use it a lot for solo rides. It’s a nice round trip ride from Lewisville to Denton. Yes you do have to cross some roads but I use it like interval training. I go hard in between crossing and take the time waiting on cars to catch my breath. Most people are pretty polite and let you cross once they notice you. It’s also great because of built in rest stops. It’s a QT right on the trail halfway. So if you want you can stop coming and going. I love the A Train trail. It’s a Great Trail for North TX.
Beautiful fall day temps last night in the 40’s high today 86, perfect for a ride from state park campground to the end of the trail, 33 miles total of course some was just riding in the park. The trail down was a hike a bike for over half of the half mile. But not that bad. Rode toward mineral wells crossed the bridge and had to stop at Vietnam memorial, which is very worth seeing. I will park there next time and ride the trail. Trail closed so you can’t go into town. Looks lovely me it’s been closed for awhile. Headed East and almost turned around. So sandy you need wide tires for sure. After about 7 miles things looked up and spots where sandy and loose but not like the first few miles. A good ride if you live near by but not a destination trail.
