Confirmed from Eagle Mountain Park'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.
Recreation area with 400 acres of unspoiled green space, hiking trails & a scenic overlook.

Great place for an easy to moderate hike or trail run. With a few different trails to choose from, and maps at every trail “intersection”, it’s easy to navigate as long as you stay on the main trails.
Deer, armadillos, squirrels, possums, beautiful trees, well groomed paths, and quite a bit of shade... This trail is absolutely amazing!
This is a very special place in my experience, foot traffic only. NO bikes, NO horses, NO dogs. This makes it an exceptional place to bring small children and have a very relaxed walk up and down the hills around the lake.
This is my most favorite trail in all of Ft Worth. It’s so beautiful here. The trails seem natural enough with the rougher terrains & elevations. My favorite trail is the Main Park Trail in red going into the Shoreline Trail in orange.
