Arbor Hills Trail Description

Overview 

The Arbor Hills Trail is a 3-mile loop through the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. The paved pathway through the 200-acre wooded preserve also offers access to unpaved hiking and mountain biking trails.  

About the Route 

Only 20 miles north of downtown Dallas, the tree-lined Arbor Hills Trail snakes through the nature preserve. The loop is accessible from both the north and south end of the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve parking lot. The paved trail consists of two connected loops through the preserve. The bigger of the two loops is accessible from the parking lot. The entry points for the second loop sit on the western end of the initial loop. As the loop meanders through the preserve, it passes over a stream in two places and provides access to numerous unpaved trails throughout the nature preserve.  

The Arbor Hills Nature Preserve also has multiple picnic tables right off the Arbor Hills Trail, located near the parking lot area.  

 

Parking and Trail Access

The Arbor Hills Trail runs between Arbor Vista Dr. and W. Parker Rd.

Parking is available at 6701 W. Parker Rd., Plano (Arbor Hills Nature Preserve). 

Please see TrailLink Map for detailed directions.

Hiking With Harlee

Love these trails. Always so crowded and paths are very narrow.

Walking Yes, Biking No

I’ve been here a few types to walk and it is a great spot. Plenty of shade with great overlooks and nature views. There are usually a lot of people walking so I never felt unsafe. But the amount of people that make walking great, is exactly why this is a terrible place to bike. I tried biking here and was constantly stopping because the “traffic” was so heavy that there was no way to pass the people safely. There is also a park for kids, decent bathrooms, and water fountains.

Just watch out for the tarantulas

Is great

There’s 3 different sort of biomes I guess, prairie, creek forest, and normal forest. We got lost twice in the Creek forest. It was great.
