Confirmed from Bringle Lake Park East's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

We had a great time. Fishing, playground, and the trails were our favorite! Look for The little doors on the trees that was my kids favorite part!!! So magical! This is one of the best hidden gems we’ve found. The dam was also so neat the kids loved every bit of it!

Man! We finally got some Mountain Bike trails in Texarkana. Me and my girlfriend had a blast on the easy and "hard" trails. Thanks to the trail builders, y'all doin a good job.

Our FIRST MB outing and this bike trail was fantastic. We did a total of 6.2 miles and it did NOT seem that long. As new riders we loved it but we parked on the East side and had to ride over to the West to start the trails. The signs are down, worn out and NOT very well marked. My all trails map did not download.

A very nice park with hidden treasures. We actually saw two alligators roaming the water. Walked the nature trail and they had little doors on trees.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“You might find an occasional snake around the trail, but there are plenty of warming signs posted (beyond the fact it is heavily wooded park/trail near water)!”
