Erwin Park North Loop is a 2.7 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near McKinney, Texas and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
The trail is ONE WAY direction of intermediate skill level. The trail is a mix of tight and twisty in the woods to some fast open field sections. Some gradual climbing, there are some fast and fun downhills as well. There are some technical sections and most of the technical sections have alternate (easy) routes around them.
April 11, 2021Be careful to not go down the bike path instead of hiking trail. You won’t see the hikers coming. The end of the trail is the beginning for hikers.
April 8, 2021First time on this trail. At one point was warned by app "off trail?". Checked GPS map and was headed towards the 8 mile loop, so backtracked and crossed the road to rejoin 5he north loop. Started at about 3:30pm on a Beautiful mild April Thursday. In the time on trail passed a double handful of polite bikers. Only one "startlement" near a blind turn but plenty of time for me step off trail and out of the way. Will definitely be back. Lots of me-time in beautiful country. Carried a 3-liter bladder in my pack with the Ten Essentials and the trekking poles came in handy over roots and rocks.

January 17, 2021January 4, 2021December 28, 2020December 28, 2020As some others said, this trail is very narrow because it's primarily for bikers and they ride fast. If you are hiking, you need to be constantly alert so you are not run over. Not much fun because of that for hiking.

November 27, 2020November 23, 2020November 22, 2020The trail is for bicycles, they just have hikers walk the opposite way. I wasnt a fan because i had to be constantly alert to possibly getting run over. Also not well marked
