I rode the Trinity Forest and AT&T trail on a weekday in early April 2025. It was a very windy day but there is a lot of cover and shade. There were some flooded low points but very passable. I saw only 4 hikers in the 19 miles I rode. I highly recommend checking this trail out. This is a super trail that deserves 5 stars!

I road the Waxahachie Creek trail in early April 2025 on a beautiful sunny day. This is a short but great trail. It is smooth cement the entire way mostly winding through woods. I am not sure that it's quite six miles. A very enjoyable trail that I rate FIVE stars!

Great spot lots of activity on off of the trail.
It's a direct trail between 2 good routes. There are street crossings, and there can be mud in wet weather. It's very good for normal commuting, but I would not bring kids who aren't comfortable with traffic.
This 5 mile section of trail runs along a busy road, and is in the sun, BUT I’m so glad it’s there because Village Creek blends into River Legacy Park trail system, giving you approx 25 miles round trip! It’s a wide concrete trail about 5 ft from the road in most areas. (I feel safe riding here.) That being said, this trail system will be even longer once they open the new section of trail! The plan is to connect trails between Fort Worth and Dallas. I understand that new system will be called Discovery Trail which will be over 100 miles!
The park is where Spring Valley Stables used to be. Running up horses in those trees is no picnic Are the cemeteries still there? There should be two. The little one has 3 places in it and the large one has about 25-30. There’s a lot of history there.
This is a nice paved trail that stretches a decent chuck of the McKinney suburbs. Plenty of places to split off and hit a store if you need some quick fuel or hydration.
Make sure you have water with you. Very pretty and clean, plenty of places to sit. No places to easily access water/drinks/snacks, no shady trees yet. I like the trail, but once you get away from the east end, you're on your own.
Much if the trail to the right of entrance closed off. Didn’t get a chance to ride the lake route. Otherwise nice ride.
Love these trails. Always so crowded and paths are very narrow.
