Plenty of parking at Reverchon park ! Direct access to Katy Trail. The "Ice House " is less than 1/2 a mile away from Reverchon. Water fountains throughout Trail (even for dogs). Great people watching !

Robyn Harman

Perfect spot in the city for a run or walking your dog. It's about 6 or 7 miles if you go out and back. You can stop at the Katy Trail Icehouse for a bite to eat or cold beverage during your trek.

Super Dad

Parking at one of the restaurants or retail stores is your best bet. Great walking/jogging trail !

Karla Dick

Not ideal for cycling due to shortness of trail and congestion (walkers, dogs, strollers,etc) and narrowness of trail . Much safer and can get better cycling workout at White Rock Lake .

Ali Mirza

No matter where you live in dallas, this is perfect for jog, run or roller blade . If you go on the weekend you will see a lot of other people (don't be surprised)

Chris F

Easy access to and from Knox Street shops and restaurants

Chris F

Public entrance onto Katy Trail. Well lit at night and great for people watching during the day!

Bike , walk, or roller blade , just don't be that guy/girl that uses that shake thing while running.

Ed Liberatori

amazing urban biking/running trail in downtown Dallas. Highlights are through Turtle Creek and uptown - perfect combination of nature and urban environments.

This is a nice flat trail going through Dallas. However it's more of a running meat market of the wannabes of Dallas.

Patrick Hart

This is my go to running trail . Great sights on the trail .

Daron Yondem

Live the trail ! Especially like the fact it is community driven and funded. Keep it up!

Kaylee

Get the best view of Dallas down by the AAC there's a perfect view of victory park !

Erica Ellis

Really enjoyed running here, gets busy & crowded but everyone was friendly & you can maneuver around people easily.

Jaycee Haddox

The trail is awesome. Great for bikes and joggers

Joseph Roten

Stop and check out these lights along the trail . They have motion sensors and each makes a different sound as you pass. Way cool.

I can't decide which I enjoy more: Getting a great sweaty workout in while running the Katy Trail, or watching the other men do the same... -Chase, The A-List: Dallas

Elizabeth McClure

Love to jog this trail , visit parks off of it, and to eat at the Katy Trail Ice house .

Karla Dick

Look for the parrots near Knox crossing- they've built a huge nest in electrical towers and are often flying about if you stop and look!

Hollie Sick

Best running trail in the area.

Eric Vaughan

Love this place so much. Grab your shoes and go for a run! Post-run Starbucks is right up the street!

Jaycee Haddox

The trail is very nice it has lots of room for joggers and bikers at the same time

Charles E.

Good place to run or bike in the shade but a tough place to walk a dog because of those obstacles. Not much to look at either with hedges on each side.

Coby Chivian

Park at Riverchon Park and begin your walk/run here. Safe & accessible and a good starting point

Debra Welch

Beautiful, well kept trail for bicyclists , runners, and walkers.

Jenn

This is almost exactly the midpoint of the trail , so it's about a 3.5 mile round trip in either direction.

Thrillist

Hit the Katy Trail for a run to get your blood flowing. Dodge bicyclists to boost your adrenaline levels.

David Dotson

If going north to south, remember the trail has a long gentle slope , so the way back north will be an uphill slog.

Rober Taylor

If you can't jog around white rock lake then this is s nice second option.

theyonks

Check out the great deals for restaurants like Howard Wang's and Sangria on TangoTab.com and it will also feed those in need

Susie O

If you visit and of the Dallas trails , make sure you know proper etiquette to keep yourself and others safe! http://www.happytrailsdallas.com/safety-tips/

Victoria D. Williams

Park at the AAC and start from the very beginning! It's exactly 3.5 miles one way and easier to track mileage versus beginning in the middle.

Liz

Don't miss this annual 5k , great vendors and fun at the end of the race!

Oh Hey Dallas

This annual 5K is a blast! Don't miss all of the vendors that set up afterwards in the park !

Joey Roybal

Great place to run with motivation in front of you at all times! Nice trail also!

theyonks

Great Katy Trail restaurants like Sangria and Howard Wang's on TangoTab.com, dine out and feed someone in need

Larry Smith

Don't be a Trail Hog Plse be aware of how much space you're taking up and try to keep Kids by your side

Alexandra Leite

After your run stop by Katy Ice House for a beer or the french bistro Toulouse if you wanna go fancier.

Brandon Gibson

BEST RUNNING TRAIL FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE HOT BODS

Mike Weaver

Remember your water, hat,sunscreen n bug spray. If you have pets bring water for them aswell.

Chuck Marcelo

Take a moment of appreciate the Tao of Warren entrance. In remembrance of the tragic death of Warren Hutcheson, age 19.

Texas Cow Pie Girl

while I may have still have some thunder in my thighs I can still make the boys rise while walking on Katie Trail

Matthias Behnke

Great for running or to just take a long walk in the countyside....

theyonks

Some Katy Trail restaurants publish deals on the TangoTab app and help to feed those in need through local food banks

Larry Smith

Don't be a trail hog, please. Go behind the other person when someone says, "on your left"

Victor Duran

I been running there since it used to be train tracks . It has come a long way... The community has put a lot of effort in the project...

Colin Nelson

A must for out of towners!

Ray Hostetler

Enter the best walking/running/biking trail in Dallas on Knox just past Travis. Great way to burn some calories.
