Great spot lots of activity on off of the trail.
Make sure you have water with you. Very pretty and clean, plenty of places to sit. No places to easily access water/drinks/snacks, no shady trees yet. I like the trail, but once you get away from the east end, you're on your own.
Much if the trail to the right of entrance closed off. Didn’t get a chance to ride the lake route. Otherwise nice ride.
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!
I walked along the Cotton Belt trail with my sister and father on a nice Thursday night. The trail happens to go through our neighborhood and area (as well as Hurst, Grapevine, and North Richland Hills.) and thought it would be a wonderful experience to go on. The Cotton Belt trail is home to many attractions and gentle scenery along its paths. From what I can see from the Colleyville portion of the path, most of the trail is kept clean by the community, and the people who live along the trail enjoy the walks they get; However, I did see trash in the brush around the path. A thing I believe that could be improved is possibly wider paths for more people to walk on at once, but also keep a distance from others. The trail provides trash cans along the path, as well as bags for dog poop. The Colleyville trail still has a lot of wildlife, while also being in an urban area. I believe this trail is a great place to go and see nature outside while enjoying it thoroughly. It's great for children of all ages, and even for a quiet walk away from the troubles of life. It's a wonderful place to go and I thoroughly enjoyed the gift and creation from God, and I felt more connected with him and the community as I enjoyed the amazing experience they had given me.
The park was so wonderful to walk! It was so cool to see how you guys kept the flow of nature and didn't confine the growth of the plants, so keep up the good work. Though I would say, I found quite a bit of trash in the stream under the bridge. It took off some of that beauty I was seeing and I couldn’t get a good picture without the trash in it. I would work to improve that for the ecosystem and the visitors. While I was walking I didn’t find any benches around the trail. And I thought of the elders, that I have seen walking this trail, who might want to sit down and rest if they plan to stay for a while. I went to go see the wildflower field and wow are they pretty! Most of them weren’t in bloom but the ones that were, were amazing. Most trails I have been down didn’t have a wildflower field and it is what makes the Walker Creek Trail so special!
It’s inside a neighborhood and super pretty! Not a long trail but great if you don’t want secluded paths!
The trail was very well kept and there wasn’t any issues on the run! A heads up there’s currently construction at the Trailhead but other than that it was a great run with no issues!
Trail is nice but not my favorite. Too many intersections causing a lot of stop and go. Felt more like I was riding in the city streets. Once you get up to good speed it's time to slow down and stop at another intersection.
