The off roading trails have been open for years, but the hiking trails just opened up in March 2018 and I'm kicking myself that we hadn't checked this place out sooner. The park itself is in between Bridgeport and Chico, off of 101, but is closer to Bridgeport. It's set pretty far back off 101, but is clearly marked with signage, and easy to find. The parking lot was clean & large, with port-a-potties, trash can, picnic tables, and a map of the park available. Right off the parking lot was an entrance to the Butterfield Trail, with complimentary walking sticks available to assist you, which I thought was a really lovely, thoughtful touch. Since it was our first time here, though, and we had the kids with us, we tried out the shortest, easiest trail available: the Oil Rig. The pathways were well-marked and easy to follow. The "easy" hike was truly easy, more of a nature walk than a hike. It was perfect for the time of day and the company we had. My daughter called everything "fairy" this or that because between the light and how beautiful the landscape was, it really was magical. All in all, it was a perfect experience and we can't wait to go back and try another trail.

Make sure you don't drink too much because there aren't any bathrooms lol the interesting part of this reserve is that there aren't a lot of posts to guide you so it's easy to get lost. Nevertheless, it's an amazing place to walk and bike! The scenery is beautiful! You can also come fishing here but the river which is a awesome place to be. Due to the recent storms the river is filled with trash I hope it gets cleaned up because it's bad. Overall this is a great and safe place to go for a walk, hike or bike ride but expect to spend hours here and don't get lost!

This loop is a good stretch of 5.5 miles or more, depending on the direction you take. It's VERY…read moreeasy. It's more like a walk than a hike. It's 50/50 in the covered woods and in the sun. It's a DORBA trail system, so check dorba.org for trail closures before going. If the trails are a bit tacky, they close the trails. I understand that for the mountain bikers, but for a couple of hikers, I think it's overkill. The trails are VERY flat but stretch out over a long distance. The creek banks have a lot of litter due to flood water run off from the roadways - #Don'tMessWithTexas! In the main part of the park, there is a gazebo with 2 picnic tables and a grill and porta potties. That is all folks.

I didn't see any other reviews for the Shoreline Trail so I'm going to go into detail. I'm on it at…read moreleast 3 times a week and I've been from one end to the next so I'll do my best to include everything. For the record, I love this trail and I've been on it with people ages 5-65 by foot and on a bike. It's great for walking, running, biking, dogs, all ages and all skill levels. The trail is 3.5 miles long, approximately 10 feet wide, made of crushed granite, wooden bridges and the occasion cement overpass. Mile markers and directional markers are visible every .25 mile. Seating, informational signage, trash and recycle receptacles and dog waste stations are located throughout. Emergency access trails and shortcuts are marked as well as access to nearby restaurants. Free parking is available at two separate trailheads (right outside the entrance to Stewart Creek Park (3700 Sparks Rd. and at Ridgepoint Park 4401 Standridge Dr.). The trail features views of Lewisville Lake and surrounding landscape. In certain areas the trail runs behind neighborhoods/homes and in other areas seems more rural. There are plenty of opportunities to see wildlife (from a safe distance) and native plants. I've personally seen deer, coyote, various birds and more bunnies than I can count. The majority of the trail is wide open but some areas are tree lined and shaded (wear a hat). About a 1.5 miles from the Stewart Creek Park entrance the trail runs past Scout Park where you'll find a pond and fountain. It's usually loaded with turtles and ducks and the occasional young fisherman. The trail is used for various organized runs throughout the year, otherwise it's not at all crowded. There is also a Trail Ranger volunteer program where I believe you can join or have a TR take you on a guided walk. This site is a good resource for the various trails located in The Colony and provides maps http://visitthecolonytx.com/nature-trails. If you like the Shoreline Trail you should also check out the Tribute Shoreline Trail. Personal note: I LOVE THIS TRAIL! It's a fantastic place to soak up some nature, burn calories, bond with two and four-legged family and get away without going too far. I encourage anyone looking for a trail or new run/walk site to check it out. I do ask that you pick up after yourself or your animal - Don't mess with Texas or its' trails.

The Shoreline Trail is a true blessing of tranquility and natural beauty in the midst of urban life…read morein the Metroplex. Enjoy!

Every time, I drive by here, I tell myself, I wanna walk over there. It looks so pretty and…read morepeaceful. One day, I became adventerous and hit the trails. Here's what I discovered. There's a limited amount of parking spaces. I encourage you to carpull, if you can. Water fountains are available for you and your dog. There's also an airpump station. It's really busy in the evening with families. There's a mixture of everything. Walkers, bikers and kids. The paths are pretty wide with uphill and downhill slopes. Depending on the route you take. It can lead you to a shopping and dinning experience. Theres two things I disliked about this area. Number one, there's lots of tiny gnats around that makes it uncomfortable. Number two, There was a horse poo on the side walk. I'm glad I got to venture out and enjoy the scenary. This area is nice for photography. I hope the next time I go the gnats and poo are gone.

This area starts off a nice, easy walk or hike along the Trinity Trails. The parking lot for it is…read moreimmediately before the Waterside development at Bryant Irvin and Arborlawn, with the lot actually being right off Bryant Irvin. I'm being so descriptive because google maps, waze, nor Siri herself was helpful in getting us here. You'd think as many times as I've been to the Whole Foods (at waterside development), I would have noticed it, but alas I did not. LOL! There's a decent sized parking lot here. If you are going to walk/bike/hike out far, you should download the free Trinity Trails app. It will help a lot with navigation and letting you know about the terrains of different parts of the trail. It was an absolutely gorgeous day when we were out. Surprisingly, this part of the trail was not packed. The few folks that were out were very friendly. I love it when "trail folk" acknowledge each other with friendly smiles and chitty chat. Almost everyone we came across had a cute dog on a leash. Folks out here were actually respecting leash laws. Presently, there is no shade along this part of the shade. That wasn't a problem this day because the weather is still cool, but I can definitely see it being an issue when our "beloved" Texas summer is in full swing. It's pretty cool that you can walk along this part of the trail and then head over to waterside for some food (there are some restaurants there besides the grocery store). See you on the trails!
