Confirmed from Horseshoe 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.
Laid-back park featuring biking trails, picnic tables, a paved path and wooded areas.
What runners say about Horseshoe Trail
“Beautiful park located in the south side of Grapevine Lake.”
“Easy trail for all to enjoy as well as a wide dirt path for runners/easiest strolls that goes through the entire place.”
My dog Rocky & I love taking walks on this trail. It's clean & not too crowded. People are safe & social distancing.
I love this trail. It is just very broken up, but each trail has it's unique characteristics. This one has easier climbs and shallow descends so great beginner intermediate training if you are a mountain biker. Trail runners have plenty of variety as well. Walkers get plenty of distance off the trails on the concrete.
Beautiful park located in the south side of Grapevine Lake. There are several trails running for bikes and hikers. We walked the trails for about 5 miles and it was great as we encountered small hills and irregular ground covered by trees. Free parking available on site.
Trail was good and enjoy the lake view too. Its good I didn't feel in this trail hahaha. But enjoyed the place.
