I read the reviews and went in not expecting much. But there are some updates. For reference, I rode an electric mountain bike, starting at the New Boston trailhead and going 10 miles towards the west and back. In New Boston there is good parking near the town center. For the first couple of miles there is an older concrete path that goes through the town and by T P Lake. There are some shady places that are nice. This section is 3 or 4 stars. After mile 3 and the intersection at HWY 98, the surface is new asphalt! It’s very smooth and wide. The scenery, however, is not very pleasant. Mostly it runs along HWY 82. While the distance from traffic is enough to feel safe, it is not enough to quiet the road noise. Five (5) stars for the trail condition, 1 star for the vibe. As of May 2026, the asphalt ends around mile 7. It looks like they plan to do more, however. The dirt path after the asphalt ends is rough and full of knee-high grass. I rode out to mile 10 before turning around. One (1) star for this section. Later I drove out to the town of Avery, a bit west of De Kalb. There the surface is crushed rock and seemingly in good condition. There were “Road Closed” signs, however, which could be ridden around. But I was unclear why it was closed. Three (3) or four (4) stars around Avery.
This is a nice short trail but we always ride this trail out and back and then connect to other trails riding along the Frisco trails bike lane to McCormick park and then lake front trails! Makes for a nice long ride !
This was a nice 1/2 gravel and 1/2 pavement ride. Fairly level ride. A little crowded but worth it ! Nice photo opportunities along the trail!
Very nice trail with beautiful scenery. Part cement and part crushed gravel. Out and back 13.26 miles.
My wife &I were surprised by the nice trail here in “Wax”-town. But even more so was the sections I could ride my mountain bike like it should be ridden! Thanks!
I biked this trail a couple of days ago. Nice scenery along the creek. Well maintained. Bikers beware, there are several sets of stairs.
Slow meandering trail trying to follow the river, is worth the ride. Concrete is nice but why not longer. The walkers might get their fill @ 5+ miles, but bicyclists are left wanting more.
I loved this trail. Beautiful scenery, very lively, lots of birds and flowers. The pond is relaxing. We even saw a blue heron. Highly recommend!
Started in Farmersville. Very peaceful, love the sound of the birds, nice paved trail
These trails need some weed cleaning it would make it enjoyable
