Rock Island Connector

Not much

August, 2024 by xgqrms2jbn

I was raised in Lawton so while visiting relatives I wanted to check this trail out. There isn't much here and it's very short. Not a trail you would travel to see.

Wichita River and Holliday Creek Trails

Great trail ride

April, 2023 by gsauncog

Started at Lucy Park after riding our bikes 1/2 mile to the trail from Wichita Falls RV Park. Rode to Lake Wichita where bathroom and picnic shelter are, had a snack, and rode back, 31.5 miles. Wide concrete pavement. Used trail link to keep us on track. 2 or 3 road crossings on not very busy streets, otherwise all underpasses for a continuous ride.

Circle Trail not quite a circle

September, 2022 by bsnicholson63

We rode in Sept 2022. Started great and was a nice ride until Lake Wichita. Shortly thereafter the trail goes into a neighborhood and city streets. The easy to follow trail becomes a navigation exercise in Wichita Falls.

All in all it is a nice ride around the city but the circle is not complete and a local street map is required for the "non locals" who may be riding.

Wichita River and Holliday Creek Trails

Excellent trail for a day ride

March, 2022 by stvatandem

My wife and I started from Lucy Park and rode to the end at Lake Wichita (at Fairway Blvd), ate lunch, and then headed back. The trail was easy to follow and went under most streets. There were some hills, but nothing too long or steep. The condition of the concrete was very good. The weather was sunny, but the wind was stiff, especially on the dam. Overall, a very good day.

Wichita River and Holliday Creek Trails

One of the best trails in Texas!!

December, 2021 by jose.donna

The Circle Trail in Wichita Falls, Texas should be on the top of your bucket list of rides in the U.S. Although two sections are still under construction to complete the circle trail as of December 2021 (Lucy Park to Loop 11 – 1 mile and Barnette Road to Lakeshore Drive), much of the 24 mile trail is open and worth the journey to experience all or part of the trail. The completed portions offer a clean 10-foot-wide cement pathway with benches, gazebos, picnic tables, and other spots to stop and rest along the trail. My husband and I have had the privilege of riding this trail and watching it expand over the last twenty years. Our favorite part is along the Wichita River and Holiday Creek. Along the way, you pass some of the friendliest people on foot, bicycles, scooters, and skates taking advantage of the trail, but it is usually not too busy. The scenery along the Circle Train is some of the most beautiful in Wichita Falls. You must experience it to believe it. It is full of nature’s bounty – Trees, natural landscape, and a variety of wildlife. We often see groups of deer near early evening by Lake Wichita. While riding through Lucy Park and along Holiday Creek, the birds sing as we roll through their habitat. Squirrels run out in front of us and even jump from tree to tree. We often see rabbits nestled in the brush or hear them jump through the dried leaves and brush. If you are interested in riding the full trail including the unfinished portion from Lucy Park to Loop 11 (1 mile), you can access the finished portion of the trail by riding a mile on Seymour Highway which offers a wide safe shoulder until you reach loop 11 entrance of the trail. The other unfinished portion of the trail is by Barnett Road. You can ride Lakeshore Road to the entrance at Fairway/Wichita Lake. That portion of the road is old, bumpy, curvy and full of potholes. Stay to your right and you will be fine.
Two of the best places to hop on the trail is Lucy Park (100 Sunset Drive, Wichita Falls, TX 76302) and Wichita Lake (5205 Fairway Blvd., Wichita Falls, TX 76308). There are bike repair stands with tools attached available at both places. You don’t have to ride the entire trail all at once. If you begin at Lucy Park, you can ride the circle within the park that is a little over a mile and a half. You ride under a covered bridge, through the park and pass colorful floral gardens that are scattered throughout the park. You can take a break and stroll the brick walk to the top of the water fall to experience the marvelous creek view. Often you will see people fishing from the banks. There are several places to stop for a snack break around the park – picnic tables, gazebos, and park benches that are scattered throughout the park. Occasionally, snakes will cross the walkway, but they will not bother you if you do not bother them.
A bit down the trail past Lucy Park, you can exit the trail and ride to the Wichita Falls downtown area which is about a mile from the trail. There you can find a variety of coffee shops, restaurants, wineries, pubs, and antique and art stores and clothing boutiques. We often carry a light weight foldable backpack when we plan to ride our bikes down town because we like to pick up fresh veggies or wine from the local farmers market for dinner or grab a bite to eat at one of our many local restaurants. A few of our favorite downtown eateries are: Eight Street Coffee Shop (710 8th Street) that serves delicious breakfast and lunch options. Two of my favorites are their Breakfast Bacon Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich and The Buffalo Chicken Salad and my hubby likes The Philly. The Gypsy Kit (801 Indiana Ave.) has a variety of unique dishes, but I like their Thai Salad with Shrimp or any of their fun taco flavors. When we are in the mood for authentic Mexican food, El Norteno #1 (110 N Burnett St.) is our go to spot for their Street Tacos and my husband loves their Horchata too. Karat Bar Bistro (800 Ohio Ave) offers a great brunch on Saturdays. Hook and ladder 616 7th Street) is a great place to refuel. Their charcuterie board, The Vollie flatbread pizza with brie, bacon, walnuts and arugula and In the Fog wine are our favorites. 9th Street Burrito Shop (907 9th Street) has great breakfast burritos. Our favorite is the supreme. We split it in half because it is so big. If you want to carb up in the morning, The Duck Coffee Company has a delicious Power Oatmeal, and their coffee is fabulous too. My hubby likes their dark roast with half and half. I like their cold Nitro with Lavender and cream. If you are into local brew, Half Pint Tap House is a great place to pick up a personal pizza and some of Wichita Falls finest local brew. Although I shared our favorite items to order, I have not had one bad thing from any of the eateries I listed.
Although the two unfinished portions of the trail are currently under construction as of December 2021, I highly recommend a roundtrip to the great city of Wichita Falls to ride the Circle Trail and take advantage of our quaint downtown. Hopefully by the time you visit, the city-wide trail will be completed. Winter, spring, summer and fall there are sights, sounds, smells, and tastes that will make your visit to ride the Circle Trail memorable and worth while. This is not a paid advertisement. My husband and I travel around riding bike trails together as a hobby and we truly are thankful for Wichita Falls Circle Trail and the development that has happened downtown. Come to Wichita Falls and play!

Wichita Valley Rail Trail

The large volcanic rock needs to be removed and replaced with something more user friendly for riding on horse or bike.

Great ride

March, 2020 by malcolmelliott

I grew up in Wichita Co. Moved away some 40+ years ago. I was amazed that this jewel of a trail was in Wichita Falls. My wife and I rode this trail last October, beautiful weather and the Thunder Birds were flying overhead. It was a great day, 33.5 miles in under 165 minutes. We look forward to another ride next time we are in town.

5 Stars for an excellent trail. Well marked, wide smooth concrete, water on trail, safe and plenty of safety features, easy contours, scenic, clean, maintained and a joy to ride. Wichita Falls is a bicycling destination city.

Wichita Valley Rail Trail

Nice Ride

October, 2016 by gionbutterfly

Very pretty. Not much safe parking for truck, trailer, and horses. You need a horse with shoes for beginning, the old rock from railway is what you are riding on. It was very pretty once we got away from where the train track used to be. Really nice for being so close to town. There was enough trail to wander for a couple of hours.

Circle trail

May, 2014 by steveg145

I have been enjoying this trail for the last 12 years. It has grown from a few miles to almost 18 total. The City has done an amazing job developing this into one of the premier trails in the Southwest. The variety of scenery is amazing, and wildlife populates several areas on the trail. I alternate running and biking throughout the year and enjoy the changing views. Very level and quite easy with only a few rolling hills.

2-3 Boots trail

June, 2013 by damzel29

I loved trekking this trail, the wildlife and the friendly natives made it very interesting. Lake Wichita is also a part of the natural migration of wild birds and has a bird rescue and sanctuary called the "Wild Bird Rescue." The paved trail and hill make this hike a nice challenge.
