Confirmed from Great Trinity Forest Gateway And Horse Trail'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.
Park featuring a lake with fishing, plus trails, picnic tables, and grills.
What runners say about Great Trinity Forest Gateway And Horse Trail
“Nice and calm for me I don't kinda where a mask cuz there's not alot of people but I keep my distance from others and great for bringing my bearded dragon for a walk”
Unlike Hai Hanson's reviews with 47 pictures of himself. It's a small pond walk around in 15 mins. There is always at min 6 to 8 people fishing in the good spots. You better get there early if you want one of The pavilions to use and I mean early sun just came up early. On a event weekend. Here's some back trails pics.
The location is a bit wierd, But i was surprised, It's actually a nice little park with trails and a small fishing pond. Hopefully it stays decent unlike the surrounding area of dallas its in.
One of my most favorite parks, it's not enormously big so you can take short runs if you don't have a lot of free time or just take a relaxing walk and watch the cute ducks! The only downside would be that since it's near a freeway you can hear the cars and everything, but I still think it's worth a visit!
