My primary trail is to date the White Rock Creek and Lake trails which can add up to 17 plus miles especially if you add the Katy Trail leg. Wonderful to find another 13 miles plus trail with multiple trailheads to challenge or limit my ride depending on time or energy level. Well maintained, multiple scenic views, elevations! Walkers, runners, bikers, picnic, and sport teams along the way on this day. Room for all!
There is a trail head with a parking lot at the north end. What I like about this trail is that it connects to other trails as you keep going south so if want to stay out longer it's very easy.
It is a very nice ride, it is uphill most of the way going south which isn't too bad being that it is a small slope but it does take the energy out of you after a while. My problem with this trail is the lack of shade. you have to ride for miles to find one tree to hide under to get some rest/ shade from the sun, but even then that's not a problem for the cooler months.
The older, well maintained neighborhoods of a Plano, such as the ones you’ll pass on this trail are pleasant to look at and relatively safe to ride on. At the southern end of the trail is a felled tree on the west side trail which for most of us, can simply ride around. I downloaded this app so that I would have something different to look at than my immediate neighborhood, and so far it has been beneficial.
The surface appears to be in good shape but the overgrowth makes this portion of the trail unusable for hiking, biking and equestrian. Bushes and trees enclose portions of the trail, it is barely passable and where there is grass, it is very tall. By far the worst part are the spiders and spider webs, they are EVERYWHERE. I stopped every quarter mile to wipe them off, they were unavoidable. I exited the trail at CR 3675, three miles into the ride from Ladonia. Had one flat tire from the thick spiked vine that were also ever-present on the trail.
Glad for hike and bike trail near my house (no trailering to start) but not fond of the trail paralleling busy roads. I’m in it for the leisure ride, not a road warrior.
Nice long mostly flat trail. Shaded areas and not as crowded as most! One issue was the flooding on the day I rode that cut off the crossing so I was not able to ride the trail all the way out to NW Hwy! Hopefully it gets drained soon so I’m able to do a full ride next time
There’s 3 different sort of biomes I guess, prairie, creek forest, and normal forest. We got lost twice in the Creek forest. It was great.
The blue trail has opened an extension in May 2021 that can add an extra 2 miles to the trail. And if you don’t want to do an out and back on this paved extension, you can simply go down a paved path and pick the blue trail back up at a lower level.
The best place to go exercise and be you with nature
