Beautiful walk, lots of wildlife Beaver, stork, crane, ducks, turtles, and of course rabbits and squirrels. Lots of birds chirping too
The drainage on this trail is subpar and it is often closed during rainy season! I am unaware of a source to see if sections of trail are closed due to flooding!
Perhaps the negative reviews were also about things not being completed but at least for me. I really enjoyed this trail. Apart from having to stop at crossroads where there is a lot of traffic it is smooth, very cynic from current to a little past Lake Louisville. I used to riding in Dallas from Oakcliff to the Trinity river, so this is very enjoyable.
I rode the Trinity Forest and AT&T trail on a weekday in early April 2025. It was a very windy day but there is a lot of cover and shade. There were some flooded low points but very passable. I saw only 4 hikers in the 19 miles I rode. I highly recommend checking this trail out. This is a super trail that deserves 5 stars!

I road the Waxahachie Creek trail in early April 2025 on a beautiful sunny day. This is a short but great trail. It is smooth cement the entire way mostly winding through woods. I am not sure that it's quite six miles. A very enjoyable trail that I rate FIVE stars!

It's a direct trail between 2 good routes. There are street crossings, and there can be mud in wet weather. It's very good for normal commuting, but I would not bring kids who aren't comfortable with traffic.
This 5 mile section of trail runs along a busy road, and is in the sun, BUT I’m so glad it’s there because Village Creek blends into River Legacy Park trail system, giving you approx 25 miles round trip! It’s a wide concrete trail about 5 ft from the road in most areas. (I feel safe riding here.) That being said, this trail system will be even longer once they open the new section of trail! The plan is to connect trails between Fort Worth and Dallas. I understand that new system will be called Discovery Trail which will be over 100 miles!
The park is where Spring Valley Stables used to be. Running up horses in those trees is no picnic Are the cemeteries still there? There should be two. The little one has 3 places in it and the large one has about 25-30. There’s a lot of history there.
Started on the trail in Farmersville. It's a quaint town with parking right a the trail head. The first couple of miles were well-maintained and paved. Then the trail switched to crushed rock. Still able to cycle but had to watch out for holes in the path and uneven transitions to bridges. Then right where the trail crossed FM2194, the trail turned into two tire ruts just filled with large rocks. Passable by mountain bike but not on my street bike.
This is a nice paved trail that stretches a decent chuck of the McKinney suburbs. Plenty of places to split off and hit a store if you need some quick fuel or hydration.
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.
