About the Route

The park has multiple access points into the area and the trail on the north, south, east, and west sides of the park, making the trail easily accessible. The trail offers a scenic park walk, especially with the views of Rowlett Creek.

Perfect fall day for 12 miles of adventure with my dog. We enjoy the wide paved trails and even the hiking trails now that the snakes are less active. Saw a few ducks, and a great blue heron.
This trail is great for biking or Rollerskating. It is so smooth and many beautiful view including the lake view. This trail has many different paths that you can take which is awesome.
First time on a bike in MANY, MANY years!!! Birthday gift from my husband!! Great trails!!
Nice wide trail, not too crowded and a good mixture of hills and flat. You can make it as long or short as you want.
Lots of parking at the nature preserve, nice, clean restrooms, beautiful wooded boardwalk trails as well as paved. Connecting also to the Sante Fe and the Bob Woodruff trails. I never knew this trail existed! Great ride!!
Great trail! My kids had fun with their scooters and skate board. They saw baby turtles and dragon flies! Got lost for a short time (it was out first visit and we were unprepared for the trails). So I advice you to get prepared before diving into trails!
This is a hidden gem right in the middle of Collin County. I have enjoyed this trail recently and plan to make it my primary destination as much as possible. Absolutely enjoy the trails and quiet nature of the park.
Rode this trail the other day on my Townie. The ride was fantastic. Wide sidewalks and beautiful scenery! Lots of trees and the creek plays a huge presence!
Very well maintained and wide trails that are away from traffic. The Bobcat Run "boardwalk" is especially nice and different. Many unpaved trails fork off from the mail paved trails for the off-roaders. Two ballooners took off from the adjacent Plano Balloon Festival area while I was there. Historical sites in the park, if you know where to look.
Quiet, away from roads, horses riding by. Great for a little self-reflecting!
Love this trail!! There's a paved trail that most people stay on and there are tons of small unpaved side trails that are really beautiful. Highly recommend this place.
This is one of my favorite trails, and with the tie in to Woodruff park trail, and the Santa Fe trail, you can go all over E. Plano, from the southern most end almost to Allen on the northern end. The drinking fountains are functional and output clean water. The large duck pond on the south part at Woodruff has restrooms, and there are restrooms on the northern end at Oak Point, where there is also a large pond with many types of wildlife. The trail is well maintained, clean, paved and scenic bridges crossing Rowlett creek in several places-care was taken in designing to keep the surrounding roadways from spoiling the peaceful atmosphere of the riding area. My only complaint is that I live too far from them to ride to them, and have to load up my bike in my truck and drive there-for now, until I get in better shape.
A beautiful trail where a Texas ranch styled bridge leads to a historic pecan grove and then on to a creek where next a fallen tree serves as a bridge. One can choose the cement path or literally go off the beaten trail to rustic trails with punchy names like "Sandbar Scramble", "Stagecoach Trail" and "Creek Trail Cut-off". Bikers, walkers, dogs, horseback riders can all enjoy this trail.
