Shoreline Trail

Real nice trail. very long so great for bikes! saw lots of joggers and some walkers out while my son and i enjoyed the Autumn air by the lake. really cute playground that is shaped like a giant pirate ship! cute since its next to the marina and boat dock! great lake views! sunrise & sunset!!! lots of picnic tables with shelter. and near playground is a bathroom. male/​female separated. :) good for dogs! lots of poop bags and trash cans with mowed grass! can get right on shore line and see wildlife. at one spot near free parking at entrance is a giant stone sandal on the ground. YOU get to stand in the middle and tell time! my son even made friends with a little girl whos family was having a bbq nearby at a table! not bad for a thursday!

I didn’t see any other reviews for the Shoreline Trail so I’m going to go into detail. I’m on it at least 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
. 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.
