I’ve ridden hard-surface bike trails in 15 states and one foreign country. I’ve never experienced one like this before. The switchbacks, twists and turns, and steep inclines make this trail more suitable for mountain bike riders, even though it’s mostly concrete. If you love a physical challenge, this is your trail, but it’s not for families out for a leisurely bike ride or for senior adults like me.
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.
Quiet hike and bike trail with some paved trail and dirt trail
Much if the trail to the right of entrance closed off. Didn’t get a chance to ride the lake route. Otherwise nice ride.
Love these trails. Always so crowded and paths are very narrow.
We loved this hike. The wide trails so it was easy to pass other people on bikes or with dogs. Very clean. A hidden treasure. We loved it. Wish I would have found this before I lost my Golden he would have loved it.
Rode about 8 miles of the trail near the west end. It more than lived up to my expectations from reviews and youtube vids. Easy to access from our hotel at the Marriott Courtyard. Way better than any trail we have back home in Wichita.
I rode an e-bike on this winding leisurely trail. My favorite part was going under several overpasses and a train bridge. There are also several pedestrian bridges as the path crisscrosses back-and-forth across the water. I saw several walkers, both individuals and families. It seemed like everyone felt safe. At the trailhead, there are restrooms, parking, and playground equipment. I also saw three e-bikes that could be rented, but I noticed they all had flat tires. It seems the trail is prone to flooding, and there were several places where standing water or dried mud covered the trail. At the points where spurs connected to the trail, it was not always obvious which fork to take and parts of it were a little overgrown and in need of some trimming and mowing. I would not say this is a “destination” trail, but if you’re visiting or live nearby, it was time well spent.
Started it at the very nice New Boston trailhead and after 3 miles the asphalt disappears into dirt and grass. It’s very doable on a gravel or mt. bike but this is not a paved greenway by any means. Hopefully it eventually becomes one.
