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.
Great trail....nice and shady. Nice pavement with just a couple of spots they are working on. At the end near the Eisenhower Park the switchbacks are pretty steep but that is the only place we ran into.
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!

Rode on a trekking bike -- many sections very rough or had deep sand. Not a casual easy ride at all. Needs to be smoothed with a firmers more regular surface like cinder or paved. Very quiet and scenic though a lot of potential
An all paved flat trail makes this a ride for all abilities. Goes through some very busy areas- but all crossings have excellent crossing signals that allow for safe access to cross. Nice to see neighborhoods but really enjoyed the “countryside” and open spaces. Highly recommend stopping at the Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park Visitor Center. Learned a great deal about the Mexican - American War. Disappointed that the many historical markers were no longer able to be read (too weathered). We drove to Brownsville from South Padre Island just to ride the trail and so glad we did. An enjoyable bike ride on a sunny (and very windy) day!
We routinely ride I-59 to just past I-45 and back. 33 miles rolling terrain with great views of the river. Careful on the weekends as there can be a lot of people and some are clueless to trail etiquette.
What a wonderful trail! I rode the Spring Creek Greenway in mid March on perfect 75 degree sunny day. The trail is curvy with gentle hills and totally wooded and shaded. You couldn't ask for a better trail, it's wide, smooth, and scenic. On the Trail Link map it shows a disconnect but when I rode it the entire trail was paved with no gaps. I don't think 5 stars is sufficient!

Parked at Trailblazer Park. Nice and peaceful walk. Just enough nature for children or those not too adventurous. Bridge is a must-see. Seems nice for solo or group walks.

Cyclists ringing their bells at me when I’m already on the far right is SO irritating! It IS noise pollution!!! Don’t ring hell’s bells at pedestrians who are already on the proper side of the trail!
Great spot lots of activity on off of the trail.
