Cottonwood Creek Trail Details

Head to the outskirts of Dallas and enjoy this leisurely ride through the picturesque neighborhoods and suburbs. The 7.5 mile long trail is separated into two parts. The northern part starts at Ridgeview Drive and travels 3.4 miles past homes, parks, and sports facilities. You will even cycle past the Old Stone Dam, which was used to supply water to steam trains in the late 1800s. The second leg of the trail is also a pretty ride through rural neighborhoods and houses. It begins at E. Main Street near Ford Park West and travels southward for roughly 4 miles. You will even enjoy stunning views of Cottonwood Creek, a small stream that runs through the heart of the city.
