Description
Spanning 637 acres along the Trinity River Greenbelt, this preserve ranks as one of Dallas County's largest open spaces. Its paths are soft-surface trails maintained by the Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association (DORBA), built for both hikers and bicyclists. Across the grounds, visitors will find a scenic overlook, four ponds with fishing access, and the surviving lock-and-dam structures left behind by an early-1900s Trinity River navigation project.
