Test is regularly maintained. Decent amount of elevation for Ft Worth. All in all a really good, moderately challenging run/hike.
Good incline/declines. A few good spots for views, some road noise but not too much. Go early in the morning, trails are pretty clear.
Loved this trail. There are some cool structures from 1935. Lots of stairs, which make the hike more fun than most north Texas trails.
I’ve been to the Fort Worth nature center before but haven’t taken this trail. In my opinion this is the best hiking trail in dfw. Cedar Ridge in cedar hill is the only one that comes close. Enough elevation change to get the heart pumping and beautiful trail. Other than some traffic noise this trail feels like you’re on a destination hike. Beautiful morning and not crowded at all despite hiking on Saturday morning.
Wonderful weather! It was nice and breezy on the trail. Everyone was courteous
I’m a beginner hiker and this was a perfect start for me! The elevation and stairs gave me a challenge without being too physically demanding and the path is clearly laid out and marked. Hikers were super respectful and the majority wearing masks as we passed. It wasn’t too crowded. Note that you have to have a reservation to enter the park on weekends.
The trail was amazing! We ran into about 5 groups of hikers throughout the trail. Finished it to the end and back in about 3 hours. The trail itself was challenging at parts, but absolutely worth it!
Trail was nice. Lots of challenging terrain. Only down side is you can hear highway traffic. I walked trail one way and road back to my car.
This trail is one of the best in DFW. It’s challenging with all the ups and downs and has great rewarding views!
