We took our E-boards out to this trail today. The pathway is was fun and has plenty of inclines and winding turns. Great scenery to look at all around. Very good size Trail, for the most part it was well maintained, will absolutely be going back again.
I love that this trail and others in Dallas are almost completely independent of automobile traffic and we still need many many more like it, but I have to point out one HUGH mistake. Every time that the trail crosses a residential type road, there is a stop sign for the bikers on the trail and just a yield sign for the cars on the road. This is exactly opposite of how a bike trail should work.
Tried riding this trail today but the entrance at 380 was closed. Disappointed.
My wife and I really enjoyed riding this trail. It is very well maintained. We will definitely ride this one again!
This is the best trail that city of DALLAS can offer. Well maintained and beautiful on its eastern side. Improvement is going on on western side of the trail, hopefully it will be completed very soon. Highly recommended ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
Trails were very well taken care of. Grass and grounds were cut and well maintained. Paths were wide and clean.
Is a good option to ride/run 18 miles straight with no vehicle crossings. But some big portions of the path are uncovered and in summer it must feel unbearable. All of the trail is paved, so heat is strong, be prepared with plenty of fluids.
I don’t ride on roads anymore just trails. After reading these reviews that were mostly negative I decided not attempt to even try this trail. Since there are cars and trains involved mixed in with this trail I decided not risk my life.
Beautifully maintained. Not as crowded as White Rock Lake. Lots of wildlife and several places to pull off and get close to the Trinity River.
First time on a bike in MANY, MANY years!!! Birthday gift from my husband!! Great trails!!
I like using this trail as a connection between Point North Park (far West end of trail) and Spring Creek Nature Area - about a 3 mi stretch. Easy to follow, bike and stroller friendly, a lot of the route is shaded too.
