Hiking Trails
Dirt trails cover one of the most interesting hillsides in Dallas, featuring seasonal flowers, wildlife, and cooling forests.
Don’t hike when the trails are muddy. It’s bad for the trails.
1 day after, don’t hike.
2 days after, the topmost trails (closest to the center), MK Trace and Upper Trail, are okay.
3–4 days after, the next level down is okay.
5–6 days after, the lowest level trails are okay.
Pets are welcome, but keep poop off the path.
Hike with a partner, especially on lower level trails.
Know where you are. Trails have maps and signs posted.
Beware of snakes. Walking sticks help.
Biking Trails
There’s a network of mountain biking trails that connects to ours managed by the Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association (DORBA). The biking trails close on Mondays; closings are posted at the Big Cedar Wilderness Trail entrance. Learn more at dorba.org.
Sand Volleyball
Located on the east side of the Activity Center. No reservations required.
