I was pleasantly surprised by this trail. Almost the entire trail is covered with trees like a boulevard with a stream on one side and upscale homes on the other. There are two points where you have to cross the street, but the trail is well marked on the street and I never felt unsafe.
Nice short cemented trail with lots of wildflowers in early May.
Smooth concrete trail. A little crowded in the middle through the park area. Be ready for an abrupt end at the west end of the trail.
Very nice trail and hard to believe you are in a city. Wooded with lots of shade.
If you continue north on the Riverwalk trail and do not cross the pedestrian bridge you will reach some amazing mountain bike trails!
We only did a stretch of it to the Los Lingos Bridge. The trails in the park itself are way better than this. It just cuts through farmland, it is bumpy and rocky and, in spots, muddy. Definitely not the caliber we have been spoiled with for an official rail to trail path. You need a mountain bike for this imo.
This trail is great if you’re looking for a safe, urban trail. All of the streets that intersect the trails have clear cross walks/lights which made me feel more comfortable with my dog. My dog is quite reactive so I’m always looking for trails that have fewer people on them but feels safe and this was exactly that!
As mentioned by a March 2024 reviewer, access to the trail from Trail Blazer Park is not possible. After driving to the other end of the trail (parking near the landfill at 31.480351887289, -97.25833084813019 ) we discovered the trail itself is torn up from Church St all the way to Trail Blazer Park. It appears there's a flood control project in work?
Also slightly disappointing the base of the trail under the concrete apparently wasn't compacted well as the surface is cracking badly in many places. This damage will need repair at some point.
It's a short ride (due to the construction) but still worth it.
The Rock Island Rail Trail is a nice, wide, flat, urban, concrete trail with lots of trees planted along the way. There are benches, gazebos, and a couple of water fountains. However, there is no parking or restrooms. There are several road crossings with traffic lights. I found it disappointing due to the lack of anything to see except the road on one side and backyard fences and dumpsters on the other.
Rode the trail on my E-bike from Farmersville for 17miles. You start to run in to big mud puddles after 10 miles as of March 30 but I’m sure that will dry up in the next month or so.
