White Rock Creek Trail

The Got Weekend take

Why go

White Rock Creek Trail is the spine of northeast Dallas trail riding: about 9.2 miles of hard-surface path following White Rock Creek through a greenbelt that stitches together more than a dozen parks, from Hillcrest Park in the north down to White Rock Lake Park. Along the way it passes Hillcrest, Valley View, Anderson-Bonner, Orbiter, Northwood, Harry S. Moss, Fair Oaks, R. P. Brooks, Olive Shapiro and Flag Pole Hill parks. Direct connections to the Cottonwood Creek Trail, Flag Pole Hill Trail and White Rock Lake Trail make it possible to string together a much longer ride without ever touching a street. Parking is available at parks along the route, including Hillcrest Park, Valley View Park, Anderson-Bonner Park and Fair Oaks Tennis Center.
