LB Houston Trail

White Rock Creek Trail

At 17.1 miles, the [White Rock Creek Trail] is the longest trail in North Texas. Nearly ten miles encompass the lake, and the north end meanders through the path's most beautiful scenery. Along the way, riders may spot an array of bird species, including great egrets. These majestic creatures feature white feathers, S-curved necks, and yellow-orange dagger-like bills.

Horseshoe Mountain Bike Trail

Nestled on the south side of Lake Grapevine, the Horseshoe Mountain Bike Trail welcomes beginning and intermediate riders alike. The path runs counter-clockwise, and cyclists discover challenging creek crossings, rocky climbs, and a few drop-offs. They also find loose gravel, rock gardens, and over 100 directional signs.

Tribute Shoreline Nature Trail

Called one of the most unique trails in the Metroplex, the Tribute Shoreline Nature Trail starts by passing the Old American Golf Club practice facilities. Once riders are past the green, they suddenly feel as though they're in a national park. The scenery changes with the seasons and interpretive signage offers fun learning opportunities along the way.
