Description
Beautiful singletrack in the heart of the DFW metroplex! Beautiful forest and meandering river views will have you enjoying this 3.6 mile hike. The peaceful seclusion you'll encounter on this loop will help you forget that you're in the big city. Some sandy areas are present as well as some creek crossings (stepping stones are in place however).
