Confirmed from Preston Ridge 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.
What runners say about Preston Ridge Trail
4 stars for the trail itself since it is a nice, wide, paved trail, easily accessible with stroller or bike. The trail has transformed the Oncor-provided electrical right-of-way into an easily-accessible and nicely-landscaped trail corridor.
A wonderful trail for cycling, jogging and walking. Adequate length to give you desired duration of exercise. Also very well maintained.
