I took a troop on a hike from Farmersville to Celeste on October 3. The section from Farmersville to Merit is, as mentioned in many reviews below, in excellent shape. From Merit to Celeste is vastly improved from work done over the summer of 2020. There are still large rocks in the gravel, and there are still areas that will probably pose a problem after a rain, but the underbrush has been cleared significantly and the road graded. One critique—the brush has been cut back so much that there is far less shade from Merit to Celeste than from Farmersville to Merit.

A really easy ride through nature, history, and amenities of Allen. Who knew? Allen Heritage Village. Hydrous (wake board training facility). Historic water station, railway, and bridges. Recreational facilities.

Might open again as they cleared a log dam. The trail was slightly flooded but passable after a fair amount of early sept rain. The parking lot area might be damaged.

Seldom crowded. Easy to walk and bike. Some shade. A few forks you can take to get to cotton belt or cross through a neighborhood to get to Timbercreek park.

This is a short trail but allows me to ride all the way to the lake while keeping off the road most do the time.

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.

What a nice trail! Wide enough for bikes & walking/running. The little foot paths to the limestone quarry & stream are great! It’s a short walk but looks promising that it is continuing up by the SRT!

Enjoyed walking this trail this morning except the bikers come flying by you without any warning. The trees over hang the path in some areas which was nice but limits your visibility to see the lake.

This trail is nice and smooth the entire way. It's a shorter one but I love it for rollerblading
