Mandalay Canal Walk At Las Colinas

If you live on Lake Carolyn or on the canals you know how beautiful this lake is and can get, especially at sunset.
Beautiful sunsets on the lake makes it a perfect place to walk with your special someone before you have dinner or after. Great place to take your date for a walk just to talk Without crowds!
If you walk or run the entire length of the sidewalks you will get about 4.5 miles total, which is a great workout! About 1 mile of that are the actual «canals»
Although the lake sidewalk trails are well used don’t be surprised if you don’t see a single person, that’s the best part of lake Carolyn, at any time of day it is very quiet and peaceful even though alot of people live in the area.
Safe area with private las colinas security driving around the area. Very clean area.
Safe, quiet, and beautiful to walk, jog, or ride your bike. Nobody will bother you! Seriously nobody.
Skip the restaurants around the lake and canals. Although you can grab some pizza or drinks at the restaurants nearby you well most likely be disappointed. Until the new developments come in I would skip and eat someplace else after your walk.
Street parking, just look for signs.
Best time to visit the lake is early mornings probably till 10am or for sunsets.
Bring water, no water fountains on trail
Detour off the canals and lake to see the mustangs at las colinas. You can walk to them from the canal.

The Mandalay Canal Walk at Las Colinas is a nice, safe, place to get a morning or afternoon walk or jog in. It is typically pretty quiet as it is way underutilized. I first tried it out because so many folks had mentioned in reviews that it had a nice ambiance and charm to it and I found the same experience to be true for me.
There is something quite serene being in the city and walking along a canal and seeing gondolas float by as you stroll past and into quaint shops and restaurants. It is also close to the famous Mustangs in Las Colinas too, so if you come to check it out, be sure to go see them as well!
I am glad to have come across this little oasis in the Irving, and I will certainly be frequenting it, especially as the weather becomes a bit warmer.

It’s an amazing place to run and spend some quiet time!

ALERT: Hidden gem! This side of Irving is pretty quiet and not many people are walking around (or maybe it was just so hot outside that everyone didn’t want to be outdoors).
The canal walk is a neat little place. After dinner nearby, took a stroll and stumbled upon the canal walk. There’s metal bridge and steps that take you lakeside. There’s a trail that goes around the lake and it’s a great place for a run or a stroll. The trees that are planted along here are especially green too! Not too much to do except for that, but great for a scenic picture.

This canal in Las Colinas is absolutely beautiful! You can even rent a gondola and get a gorgeous view of the water. So romantic! Take a stroll here and watch the sunset and the ducks along the way. Right now in fact would be the perfect time to go with this lovely spring weather! There are a bunch of local eateries around here too so it’s great to come even around lunch time and do some shopping. I love it though and it’s definitely something different to do in the area… take in a bit of nature. It’s therapeutic!

What a bunch of charm and ambiance. It isn’t the canals of Venice. But it has an old world charm. With well lite walking paths, restaurants, and pubs along the route. It’s a perfect place to stroll on a romantic date while taking in some fresh air & tranquility.
