My hub and I parked one of our cars at Celeste HS and the other at the Farmersville Trailhead parking lot. Starting at 8:10am from the trailhead, we hiked the 13.2 miles. We are in moderate shape and our feet were dead when we reached the high school around 1pm. I have large blisters on the outside of each foot and hub has blisters on both of his achiles tendons. The trail was great. It was clean and had many benches and trashcans within 3 miles of the trailhead. The trail crosses many streets and many bridges. The trees shade a majority of the trail. There aren't any benches between Merit and Celeste and much of the trail is rocky.
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.
Drove up to the Farmersville trailhead and left from the Onion Shed. Lots of cracked pavement for the first segment (~1 mile). Good concrete segment for next mile or so. Then it’s crushed granite with some washout in sections. Turned around after ~5 miles at FM2149 as trail surface was crushed gravel and very rough ride.
Longview is listed to have three trails, Cargill, Guthrie and Boorman. This is true BUT all three connect seamlessly!! You can bike from one end to the other making for a 10 mile one way trip or 20 miles round trip! The trails are beautifully landscaped and cared for with benches and workout stations. Highly populated with beautiful cardinals and an occasional bunny rabbit. Green grass beautiful and always mowed length of Boorman trail and Guthrie Trail. Trail is wide concrete on these two. Cargill portion has many more hills, but is also beautiful, but asphalt surface. These trails are so shady and therefore beautiful in the

There is 3+ miles of this trail not on the map. I ran Cargill Long Park from 4th Street to Judson (1.76 miles) and only found 10’ wide perfect concrete. It wound between neighborhoods, over creeks, and under a bridge. I appreciate the City of Longview providing this trail system. Great place to run, walk, or bike.
Biked about 11 miles, starting in Farmersville. Other than a few muddy spots, it’s a good ride. Progresses from asphalt, to different types of gravel to trail. Spring seems like the perfect time to go. I would not recommend this trail during the summer, or on any other type of bike, other than a mountain or hybrid. The park in Farmersville desperately needs a restroom.
We 'tried' to do this trail today on our ebikes. They are folders with small tires and no suspension, and this is a rough trail. We parked and put in at Wolfe City. We only rode 3.7 miles round-trip because it was exhausting. There was overgrown grass, a large hole in the pathway heading north from Wolfe City, and just a general unkempt trail. It might be okay for mountain bikes, but for any other sort of bike, it would be difficult. Too bad they haven't received funding to pave or at least smooth out this 35 mile trail.
Beautiful place to walk in South Tyler. Plenty of shade and scenery walking alongside an old railroad path. Perfect for exercise and lots of fresh air.
