Northeast Texas Trail

It’s definitely not finished.

September, 2024 by roryzimpelman23

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.

Northeast Texas Trail

Trail needs some TLC

June, 2024 by abqduffer

Drove up to the Farmersville trailhead and left from the Onion Shed. Lots of cracked pavement for the first segment (~1 mile). Good concrete segment for next mile or so. Then it’s crushed granite with some washout in sections. Turned around after ~5 miles at FM2149 as trail surface was crushed gravel and very rough ride.

DeKalb Trace

Not worth your travel time. Trail is non-existent. Drove an hour to check it out and never got the bike off the carrier. An enjoyable drive through Texas and Oklahoma is all we got out of it. Should not list this "trail".

DeKalb Trace

Not Marked, Not Maintained

August, 2023 by dbaum48

How did this get called a bike trail? It's just worn grass going thru DeKalb and once you actually find a path, it's high weeds and not maintained. Worst bike trail I have ever tried to ride. Lucky it's next to a road so you can at least get back and go home.

Chaparral Rail Trail

nice trail

March, 2023 by tqynxtfhz5

Biked about 11 miles, starting in Farmersville. Other than a few muddy spots, it’s a good ride. Progresses from asphalt, to different types of gravel to trail. Spring seems like the perfect time to go. I would not recommend this trail during the summer, or on any other type of bike, other than a mountain or hybrid. The park in Farmersville desperately needs a restroom.

Chaparral Rail Trail

Not good for bikes (maybe mountain)

October, 2022 by bethspottery

We 'tried' to do this trail today on our ebikes. They are folders with small tires and no suspension, and this is a rough trail. We parked and put in at Wolfe City. We only rode 3.7 miles round-trip because it was exhausting. There was overgrown grass, a large hole in the pathway heading north from Wolfe City, and just a general unkempt trail. It might be okay for mountain bikes, but for any other sort of bike, it would be difficult. Too bad they haven't received funding to pave or at least smooth out this 35 mile trail.

Reno Rail Trail

Overall nice, but lots of cracks and repairs on asphalt

October, 2022 by bethspottery

We rode 20.3 miles from Paris to Blossom and back. The trails are Trail de Paris, Reno Trail, Prairiland Trail, and the Blossom Trail. Overall it was nice, but there is only about 1/2 mile of good asphalt; the rest of it is old and patched and many bumps and cracks in the asphalt. It was rideable though and would recommend it. Our bikes are folders and we don't have good seats nor suspension, so that would have helped.

Trail de Paris

Overall very nice trail and a little bumpy

Chaparral Rail Trail

Ice Storm

February, 2022 by kevinkirk51

Just a heads up. The trail at least in Northern Hunt County experienced a severe ice storm and there are trees down on the trail. The areas behind my property look pretty bad from the roadways. I could not find a number to contact them to notify them about it.

City of Blossom Trail

Road the Paris,Reno, Prarieland trail today and this was the first time we ventured on through Blossom! Very nice Concrete trail and we went a little further on the gravel trail and it was well maintained.

Chaparral Rail Trail

Ladonia to Pecan Gap

July, 2021 by boeding7_tl

The surface appears to be in good shape but the overgrowth makes this portion of the trail unusable for hiking, biking and equestrian. Bushes and trees enclose portions of the trail, it is barely passable and where there is grass, it is very tall. By far the worst part are the spiders and spider webs, they are EVERYWHERE. I stopped every quarter mile to wipe them off, they were unavoidable. I exited the trail at CR 3675, three miles into the ride from Ladonia. Had one flat tire from the thick spiked vine that were also ever-present on the trail.

Chaparral Rail Trail

Landowner Along Trail.

March, 2021 by kevinkirk51

Since the gates were put in and surface upgraded there has been an increase in bike and hiking traffic. One group consisted of a Veteran and his sons and friends and I was able to provide them water for their canteens. They were going to camp along the trail and I began thinking that I could develop a camping spot next to the trail if there was interest. I am about halfway between Merit and Celeste, Texas. PLEASE PLEASE take your trash and any other you find as that's my biggest complaint. Most people are very considerate and I do appreciate it.
