There's always plenty of wildlife to spot along the way, including this adorable little fur baby in the video attached. I love coming out here to soak in nature, get some fresh air, and completely remove myself from the noise of the world for a while.

Duck Creek Greenbelt Trail is about 3 and half miles, looped trail located near Garland, Texas and…read morethe trail isn't very difficult. The trail is good for hiking, walking, running, and road biking. The trail is also accessible year-round. Dogs are welcomed on the trail but should be leashed. There is a lot to do there depending on your preference. The trail runs through some trees and eventually leads to a nice little scenic lake. The trail is made of concrete so its great for running , biking or anything else with wheels. The lake would be a good spot for a picnic too but be warned there's a lot of walking before you get to the lake. There's also a nice playground for the kids as well. I would avoid coming on to the trail if there was any rain in the previous days because the trail path can easily flood making it very unpleasant and too wet to cross. There is a soccer park close by if you want a wide open field as well. Check it out if your looking for something to do on a nice day!

After the gate is closed if you need to be let out, you have to call the police. But there's so much to do here! Not just the swimming area! There's a hiking trail, playground and walking trails. Beautiful views and plenty of space to social distance yourself. The trails are available for no fee as far as I could tell, but the swimming area near WhoaZone is $5. They do not take cash, only debit/credit card. The swimming area has a playground and picnic areas. I think there's a spot to cast your kayaks off over there too, but I stayed near the beach and didn't explore anything else. I saw vehicles with kayaks going over on the other side. If you have water shoes, I'd say bring them and a beach umbrella as there's no shade. The sand isn't too uncomfortable to lie in, there's just cigarette butts here and there. But I definitely recommend visiting for the day or even camping if you're into it!

So let's have fun with this review on Sunset Bay! This muddy shallow bay borders Sol Dryefuss Point…read moreof White Rock Lake and shares some of the spectacular view, but that isn't what makes this bay so delightfully fun! This little vibrant bay is full of life! LOTS of feet run, walk, stroll, waddle, paddle, swim, clutch and just stand. Okay, some of the feet are paws including the dogs, cats, coyotes and bobcats. The wet feet include the many species of ducks, geese, and frogs! There are some serious raptor feet with the many hawks, owls, falcons, kestrels and we can't forget Nick and Nora's Eagle claws! Way too many bird feet to count! But let's get back to the geese (or as I incorrectly like to say, gooses). There are Chinese Whites, Chinese Browns, Canadas, Grays and sometimes a Snow or 3! Plus more quaking ducks than I care to count... Under the water are a lot of footless finny fish. There are some big catfish in this bay that like to follow the swimming fowls. We won't disgust ourselves and talk about what the catfish are eating that these birds deposit in the water... I will say these are some very fat catfish! In the evening, the frogs will croak you into submission! The bulls, tree and a toad or two. The signs say do not feed the birds and ducks and geese (gooses :) ), but I like to pass down memories I had as a kid. I let the granddaughters each toss crumpled up whole wheat bread pieces to the plumb water fowl (or very alert 5-10 pound yellow catfish). If you want to watch nature in action, keep an eye on the cormorants. When Nick and Nora, the Bald Eagles circle over head, the cormorants scatter in all directions! On wing and/or diving into the muddy water. KIDS are thrilled to come here, photographers line up, Coyotes camp out in the bushes waiting on a fresh winged meal. Oh, smile at the silent stalking bobcat who is quite silly thinking it can snatch a duck snack within a few feet of dogs, runners, and strollers!

I parked in a gravel parking lot by Keaton park and walked across a small field. You'll than see the trail sign and another billboard sign that has not been update or maintain. The trail is also close to a street, so you can hear the cars. I was a bit surprise because the trail was pretty decent with some ups/ downs with some trash/debris. I wish this trail was longer and has some kind of water/ creek which my daughters enjoy. Overall this trail isn't bad for a quick walk with your dog or whatever. I would say I go back but it's a short trail and does not have a creek. We finished within an hr or so.

I like the fact that the trail is clean and most folks give you a friendly smile or "hi" when they run or bike past. It's almost like having a tiny piece of Austin inside Dallas. I really enjoy the trail on early weekday evenings and early weekend mornings. It's pretty quiet during these times. My suggestion is to avoid "busy times" like weekend afternoons. The trail gets packed with kids, dogs, families (rolling 10 or more deep, LOL!), and tons of roller bladers, skater boarders, etc on weekend afternoons.

Right off the playground is a nice hill so if the weather is good, I'm sure you could roll down it! This park was overall a pleasant experience and kept the kids entertained.
