Mix of paved and gravel trails available. There is trash around, but take time to see the beauty. Parts seem like open prairie. When you get west of Sylvan, it becomes quiet and you can hear hawks. Watch for ducks, herons, and cranes. Btw, there are feral hogs early dawn and late Eve. You can find their tracks. Great place to hike with no cars.
Quiet and Serene and peaceful. however for biking very hilly. Maybe not so much for casual older Riders
So far this place has some of the best trails for OneWheels. Always a great time!
Thank you City of Carrollton. Put on 800+ miles on my bike this year with Covid. When will the Old Denton extension to Rosemeade and beyond be completed?
Great for biking or walking. Crosses a few major roads but does so at red lights.
The Good:
Good Paved Roads, Good Combination of Parks in area, Good mixture of curve and straight ways, Good patches of wooded areas
The Excitement:
There is a finished bridge crossing over to the Dallas side of the Trinity Levee, just not opened yet and no paved trails
The Bad:
Occasionally you will smell the Landfill near the trail, Kamikaze Grasshoppers like to hop when you are riding, please wear Eye protection
Snake crossing path
The route is smooth and paved. Great for pulling a bike trailer. It’s downhill from Deep Ellum to White Rock and obviously uphill on the return. Lol. Overall great out door activity for everyone.
This trail is nice and smooth the entire way. It's a shorter one but I love it for rollerblading
Went around the entire loop today. West side of the trail was absolutely gorgeous, smooth pavement, massive and beautiful houses. Pretty flat except for two decent slopes when passing the pump house and the damn. Other than that only gradual slopes up or down. West side of the trail has a section where the pavement got so bad for so long I took my skates off for the last few hundred feet of it. Very rough, cracked, gravely, not fun.
I find this to be a very wonderful Trail its not overly crowded, however, as some other reviews have suggested that this could be dangerous as people try to cross busy intersection
Great early morning adventure! Less traffic and various options available....short or longer stretches, or walking, biking, or running..
