Confirmed from White Settlement Trailhead 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.
Park featuring trails, picnic tables, and a public restroom, plus a kid-friendly hike.
What runners say about White Settlement Trailhead Park
“Clean porta potty and water fountain with a bottle filling station.”
“It's not crowded, and a refreshing experience being so close to the Trinity river.”
Love this place. It's so peaceful and everyone are helpful and enjoying the trails...I love fishing here also. Awesome place to spend time on the outdoors... 🌞
72 miles of trails for horses, bikers, hikers, skateboarders, and more. This was our first time hitting a trailhead, and it's truly impressive. Be prepared for the sun. You'll find plenty of parking and many divergent trails to follow.
I love coming here to walk, exercise, contemplate, reflect, and soak in the sunny ☀️ Texas sun. It's not crowded, and a refreshing experience being so close to the Trinity river. Here's a few pics from a few weeks ago when the River was frozen, and several days later.
Great place to walk, run or bike. The view of the river is always nice
