Started it at the very nice New Boston trailhead and after 3 miles the asphalt disappears into dirt and grass. It’s very doable on a gravel or mt. bike but this is not a paved greenway by any means. Hopefully it eventually becomes one.
I’ve been here a few types to walk and it is a great spot. Plenty of shade with great overlooks and nature views. There are usually a lot of people walking so I never felt unsafe. But the amount of people that make walking great, is exactly why this is a terrible place to bike. I tried biking here and was constantly stopping because the “traffic” was so heavy that there was no way to pass the people safely. There is also a park for kids, decent bathrooms, and water fountains.
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.
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!
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.
I walked along the Cotton Belt trail with my sister and father on a nice Thursday night. The trail happens to go through our neighborhood and area (as well as Hurst, Grapevine, and North Richland Hills.) and thought it would be a wonderful experience to go on. The Cotton Belt trail is home to many attractions and gentle scenery along its paths. From what I can see from the Colleyville portion of the path, most of the trail is kept clean by the community, and the people who live along the trail enjoy the walks they get; However, I did see trash in the brush around the path. A thing I believe that could be improved is possibly wider paths for more people to walk on at once, but also keep a distance from others. The trail provides trash cans along the path, as well as bags for dog poop. The Colleyville trail still has a lot of wildlife, while also being in an urban area. I believe this trail is a great place to go and see nature outside while enjoying it thoroughly. It's great for children of all ages, and even for a quiet walk away from the troubles of life. It's a wonderful place to go and I thoroughly enjoyed the gift and creation from God, and I felt more connected with him and the community as I enjoyed the amazing experience they had given me.
The park was so wonderful to walk! It was so cool to see how you guys kept the flow of nature and didn't confine the growth of the plants, so keep up the good work. Though I would say, I found quite a bit of trash in the stream under the bridge. It took off some of that beauty I was seeing and I couldn’t get a good picture without the trash in it. I would work to improve that for the ecosystem and the visitors. While I was walking I didn’t find any benches around the trail. And I thought of the elders, that I have seen walking this trail, who might want to sit down and rest if they plan to stay for a while. I went to go see the wildflower field and wow are they pretty! Most of them weren’t in bloom but the ones that were, were amazing. Most trails I have been down didn’t have a wildflower field and it is what makes the Walker Creek Trail so special!
This trail is pretty long and seems safe! It’s scenic and has cute picnic spots too.
It’s inside a neighborhood and super pretty! Not a long trail but great if you don’t want secluded paths!
