Confirmed from Chisholm Trail Greenbelt'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.
Nature preserve with walking paths, picnic tables, and play areas, plus opportunities for bass fishing.

I loved biking on this trail. It had nice greenery and plenty of mileage in different directions.. Do watch for snakes 🐍 we spotted one on one of the bridge overpasses.
This trail was kinda hard to find which is why I gave it 4 stars. Directions aren’t very clear when using your gps. I probably sound like a millennial but if you know you know 😅 Besides that, the park is very beautiful and has several playgrounds where you can play with your kids too!
Beautiful and well maintained trail to walk with your pet. Enjoy the early morning breeze or the evening sun. The picture says it all.
A beautiful place for a stroll, a picnic, or to just hang out. My wife and I enjoy Saturday morning coffee by the water on a regular basis.The trails are paved for walkers, joggers, or bicyclists.
