Very well maintained and clean trail with lots of different terrain. It is a biking trail but there are many people hiking as well. Lots of shortcuts if you dont want to take the whole trail. Our favorite is the orange trail which is in a wooded forest.

I really enjoyed this hidden gem. Never knew it was there. Very peaceful, big place to explore, amazing sounds from the birds and crickets, just a relaxing place. Trails were even an adventure. My first time there and I already told my best friend about that place.

There is a good amount of nature here and you really do forget youre in the city. Seems like a fun mountain bike trail, but i walked today. The entrance is a little tricky to spot if youve never been here. Its probably best to go here during normal hours when there are plenty of people imo, but overall an enjoyable experience

This is a wonderful place to hike. There are so many trees and its really shaded. This is a perfect place to go on family walks and enjoy fresh air. I recommend going during the week, since weekends are going to still be nice but have a lot of people riding bikes.

Very cool trail with lots of different features. Nothing too difficult, do great for all skill levels. There is a nice jump section off of loop 4 that has a variety of jumps to work on your technique. They recently added signage that makes it much easier to navigate the park. Check for closings after heavy rains, as other trail takes time to dry out. I highly recommend this trail!

Great beginner and intermediate trail system. Had a jump park in the middle with a jump longer trail for more advanced riders. Really fun!!

Took my cats on a walk here and it was so much fun! It wasnt crowded and the area is really quiet. The paths are very confusing though.. the map sign had bullet holes, so you couldnt read the map routes and there arent any signs to let you know which path youre on, so we did get lost, but eventually made our way back out to the front. We wanted to see the streams but couldnt find those either.

Lots of trails. Most is under shade. Some elevation change. Dog friendly. Good location. The trails are not marked very well. Consider saving your parking location to find your way back to the trailhead

Great trails, very easy to get lost. Their map app is kind of clunky and buggy. Using the All Trails app may be more helpful to find your way out

It was an incredible experience (peace will be found out there). The trails will make you work, so come ready. I assure you its worth the sweat equity that youll put in.

If you want to explore a little bit of woods in the middle of Dallas this is a good place to visit. A little sketchy but that makes it more fun!

Nice park. just got into MTB and this was great. I very new and havent rode a bike in maybe 10 years. went down the yellow path and even me (super out of shape) made it out lol

Very nice challenging trail, drops and climbs, but theres always a bypass if you dont wanna go through the technical parts.

Fun mountain bike trail with some easy spots, but lots of more difficult spots that require some string technical skills. It definitely looks like the parking lot is a spot for some sketchy activity after dark, but it was fine when we got there in the morning.

Awesome in-town nature preserve. Multiple trails for hiking or biking with varying degrees of difficulty...Start in the white Beginner Trail and work your way up!

Great trail system but too many intersections and not enough trail markers. Gate doesn’t really close at 7 but unless you’re experienced you don’t want to be here after dark

121 acres of natural wilderness in the middle of the city. Over 8 miles of hiking and biking trails. Come enjoy!

Lots of trails and scenery. Great for hikes and biking.

Very good utilization of hiking space, trails zig zag through nice forest.

Soon after you enter you start feel like youre no longer in the middle Dallas. You feel transported to somewhere more pure and untarnished by man.

Aside from the seriously intimidating entry point my experience was very positive along trail 1.

I truly enjoyed coming here. My only complaint would be that I wished the trails were more clearly marked. There were a few times I felt like I was going in circles, but I loved how peaceful it was. Adding it to my regular places around DFW to hit the trails.

I really enjoyed hiking here. I came back twice while I was in town. There are a lot of trails so it can be easy to get turned around.

Nice place to walk and get away from things while still in the city

What a peacefull place. I walked some if the trail on a hot day but all the trees protected me from the suns rays.

Nice walk for kids and adults alike. Only tricky part is getting back to the parking lot

This place is great for who like to ride bicycles and ,do jumps, for walking around ,and explore the nature too is great preserve.

Pretty cool chill spot. It starts getting prettier once you walk in deeper and theres so many shortcuts to take once youre ready to head out

Nice shaded good trails nicely marked and maintained. Small parking lot may have to park on the street.

It was a great place to go with many different trails. They are not well marked so be sure to have a GPS with you to get back to your car! Other than that I certainly will return.

Me and my kids have so much fun. There is not alot of people and even if there is alot of cars there is no contact at all.

This is a Experience that the whole family can enjoy together, it is a MUST see, a natural and local treasure.....

Its a nice hidden gem in Oak Cliff. For a little while you forget youre in the city. Not heavily populated which was nice for my hubby and I.

The trail is poorly marked but this is not a bad thing if you’re looking for adventure. Always keep your safety in mind. My family and I use it to hike and we once ran into a pack of dogs that were quite aggressive but this hasn’t been an issue the la set few times we’ve been as we did not see them. Great trail for the mountain bikes as well. Could use some maintenance.

Very nice bbn place to visit... I sit on my patio and enjoy the cool breeze coming off the preserve... FYI, these are Senior Living Apts. For those that come after 10:00 pm please be considerant.... Thanks, and enjoy

Very impressed lots of trails. perfect for hiking or biking...!!!

Its a moderate trail. I loved the different trails, i wouldve loved more distinct trail markers.

Good easy and quick hike. Take the kids and they complain the entire time, but it gets them tired.

One of my new favorite hiking spots

Very unique scenery in the heart of Oak Cliff, feels like you’re out of the city.

Great trails a lot of fun but the trails are not marked well at all and it can be easy to get lost wish there was a organization or something to start working to cleaning up the preserve and and getting the trash from horrible people picked up

Well marked trails

Fun, flowy trail. Follow the signs and lookup the turnback points before heading out

Primarily off road biking trails, so if youre coming to hike be sure to start on the left side and walk counter-clockwise. The paths are nice and clear and the terrain is really nice for trail running. Only problem is once you get to the part where all the other loops begin, you can find yourself walking in circles. Very clean and friendly spot tucked away in the middle of Oak Cliff

Fun and natural place to visit to calm you up..

Great place to hike for hours. Random artwork throughout and lots of variation in scenery. The multiple loop trails make what appears to be a smaller area much more expansive. Make sure to check out the bicycle graveyard at the end!

It was a nice trail aside from the trail markers. We were lost for a little because the trail markers took us all over the place. Glad we ran into some people.

Great place for dog walking. Signage is poor. Best if you printout and bring with you a trail map.

Great oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. Easy to get lost which makes it that.much more fun. Dogs love it too!

Great preserve in the city, easy to get lost! Great for hiking and biking! The giant spider art work is on the white trail and the bike grave yard is on the blue trail.

A great place to gather your thoughts, very peaceful

Hiking experience was great .But the trail markings werent very clear enough and the chances of getting lost are high.Advisable to have the map downlaodes

Love to take the kiddos hiking here. Very easy but entertaining trails. The 4 stars is because it can attract unsavory trash

Enjoyed this trail very much! Great combination of easy and more technical loops.

Loved it! My dogs and I went, and easily spent an hour and a half here. Only down side, the signage isnt super clear, so we did have a few moments of panic not being able to find out way out. But still, would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Boring to hike, but the trail looks like fun to mountain bike.Specifically, its a great trail for beginner mountain bikers. Will go back to mountain bike, not not hike. The trails are horribly marked, plan to be there a couple hours if its your first time.

I love this trail. I mountain bike here regularly.

Our second favorite trail next to Grapevine Lake. We were hesitant when we saw someone did target practice on the entrance sign but we seemed to be the only people on the trail and it was quiet and beautiful. I love that it’s a hidden gem and we walked the entire thing without coming across anyone else and I love trails that I can just be alone in nature. Also the random art was a fun surprise. We love it.

The trails here rough, but quite scenic. Generally the paths are pretty clean and mostly untouched. Meaning, insects and animals are present, really present. So pack everything youll need just in case you get bit or stung. The paths usually loop and are sorted by color. These usually represent difficulty of the trail. Throughout the trail, posts are scattered that mark where you are along with a QR code of the preserves map. Overall, a pleasant experience. And please bring a helmet if your biking, it wont hurt to.

I little bit of nature in the heart of the city. Hiking and biking trails are plenty and the wild flowers are beautiful.

The trail is amazing. I like how its discrete and not to many people know about it. However its changed. It has gotten more popular and crowded. I use to be able to walk my dog in peace while walking the trail. There were two occasions where I was walking my dog on a leash. other people were doing the same but they did not have their dogs on a leash. In result, my dog was approached by the other dogs and they ended up fighting each other. On one of those occasions I ended up getting bit while trying to separate my dog ,who was leashed, from the other dog that was unleashed. Luckily the bite mark didnt get infected. I didnt even notice that I got bitten until I lifted one of my pants leg up. People if you read this there are laws regard about leashing your pets while taking them for a walk. For your safety and the safety of your pets, please follow the leash laws. Theyre there for a reason.

Good place to go for some nature and trees in the middle of the city. Be aware that trails are not well marked, however. I didnt have any trouble finding my way back, though as I have a good sense of direction.Likely due to the microburst windstorm we had the other day, a huge tree down across yellow trail -- about the mile in -- so we had to turn back. Im sure the city will remove it when it becomes aware.

Its a neat trail with many paths but you can get easily lost and the place is very littered.

Great off-road bicycle route. I love to take the red route, some good obtacles in the course and can get speed. You can feel adrenaline here.

Wish it had better signage. Really hard to not get lost.

Great place to explore, except for the poorly marked trails. Had I not had my phone with me, as well as a trail app, I would have been lost for hours.

Love these trails

Nice trails, had lots of fun with my niece. Just be careful with bees at the small wooden bridge. They chased us at least 20 feet until they caught up to us, we were both stung a few times. Ouch!

If you get passed the bullet holes in the entry sign, its a lovely place.

Heavily trafficked so wear your mask!

Lots of fun little winding trails

Super fun trail, and with a neat surprise in the middle! Easy and great trails

Great trail if you don’t want to drive too far. I get lost every time, there just isn’t enough signs. At the end, I found this which will be helpful for future visits.

Awesome place for mountain biking! Theres always other people riding there so even if you go by yourself youll more than likely will see other riders. The trails are very well marked with the difficult level of it and there are loops to take in case you want to go around. If you are in the area from out of town and like mountain biking I recommend you check this place out!

Its right next to an industrial buildings with loud machinery noises. On the other side was a school with a loud game going on. There was trash all over the park.

This nature preserve is a hidden gem of Oak Cliff. It is bigger than it seems, and within a few minutes of walking you will forget that youre in the middle of a city. The traffic sounds fade away and the wildlife and blue skies come into focus. In the spring this place explodes with blooming native plants. Watch out for flooded or muddy trails after a rain. There are wooded trails and open spaces. There is a chance you could see woodpeckers, owls, foxes or lizards. And if you wander in the right direction, you could stumble into the area with all the street signs and other novelties in the middle of the woods.

Magical place like right out of a fairy tale!

I really like this spot. Its a small and quite. Its a good place to go exercise. Nice bike trails.Sometimes I just go to relax and enjoy nature.

Love this place. A good place to see the eclipse.

Well sorted out trail someones been taking good care of it. The preserve is a wonderful find in the city!

It was really pretty out there we saw a couple of deers

Good place for a hike. Enjoyed it tremendously.

Very good to work ok

Lovely accessible forest trails. Much better than youd expect right in the middle of Dallas

Really great trail! Went with my 4yr old and there was just the right amount of shade and open area. It was a spider web of trails to give you lots of options. The parking lot is fairly small but there is street parking available.

Extremely fast course for runners or mtn bikers

A treasure for the city of dallas

From California, was skeptical of the gun violence in Dallas when I saw the bullet holes but other Google review said its been there for 9 months. Big park, some steep trails. Everything is mapped though and they have a link you can find on trail poles walking around the park. Beautiful views of cedar and natural Texas opuntia (cactus). The only scary part to me would be the cyclists. It seems like there is a community of them here, but for how many blind corners there are in the park, I would not take someone here who doesnt have a fast reaction time. Seems like when you get to that arch where apartments poke into the map at the top, you can get lost and circle. Cool spot there though with random eclectic sprawlings.

Nice trails, not crowded

Good trail, trails cross a lot so need to keep that in mind as you navigate as it can get confusing. Don’t be surprised if you find trash littered around. Proximity to Dallas definitely a big plus.

Trails are difficult to navigate. Maps and colored trail loops aren’t very helpful.

Excellent trail very close to the city. The trail is marked very poorly close to the trail head. But the further you get on the trail, the trail markings are excellent. The was a good mix of hikers and mountain bikers. Bikers were very polite. Returning to the trail head was an adventure. We followed two groups who told us they knew the way and we all went down the wrong trail twice. This was a really good local trail. Warning - no public restrooms.

I love hiking trails and this one was on the list so we navigated ourselves there. I live in north Dallas so this was a nice drive for us. When we arrived we immediately felt unsafe not to mention it was getting dark. There were bullet holes in the sign and the area was just hood, and the apartment right next to the entrance of this preserve looks haunted. I would suggest going somewhere else unless you from this area and no some people ok.

Lovely area for a hike.

Always a great place for a walk. I visit there with my friends a few times every other month. There are a lot of paths to take, and its bike friendly too

Amazing scenery. Beautiful. Can be a little scary when alone.

Love this place and its very awesome to go with your friends

Not crowded,

Really good workout!!

Good bike trail. Nice jump lines but easy enough for beginner riders.
