Gorgeous lake though it's a little to close to the main drag for my personal taste. They have lots to do including fishing ,trails , and boat rentals .

John Cabañez

Nice 9 mile lap around the lake , very scenic , and clean . Good place to spend the day & enjoy the weather. There is a place where you can rent kayaks at the corner of Mockingbird & E lawther =O

Doreen

A pretty lake . Great place for kayaks and sailboats . The paved trail around the lake is quite popular with runners.

Emmett Reeves

Beautiful lake within Dallas! However can sometimes be overcrowded on weekends. If you’re wanting more seclusion, try rainy days or mid week. Great walking trail and some scattered picnic table areas.

Dean Erickson

One of the great things about Dallas. Love this lake and everything that it offers.

Marie-Térese Cumberbatch

The best urban park in Dallas. A great place to walk your dog, ride your bike , or do a little nature photography ...

White Rock Lake Park boasts a gorgeous 9.3 mile biking trail ... take full advantage of it! If you don’t have a bike already, there are several nearby shops that can rent you a bike for about $35.

No better place to run or bike in Dallas. It's a great trail with beautiful views of downtown.

This is the perfect place to get away from city life for an hour or more. Love walking around this beautiful lake ... It's awesome.

Watch out for the cormorants roosting at north end of Lake near trail leading to pedestrian bridge . They will bomb you with extreme prejudice!

Pedigree Brand

Features separate areas for large and small dogs, and a lake for refreshing fun. Open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. year round, and closed for maintenance on 2nd and 4th Mondays.

Kevin Gilhooly

Drive down Fisher Road with your date to the edge of the lake , and watch for the ghost of the Lady of the Lake to appear. If you don't see the Lady of the Lake , just make out.

Jennifer Spera

i love to "walk it out" here...IMO, its the best place to clear your head and enjoy the view . (spillway section still under construction , at least they are working on it!) Read more

Shhhh Don't tell anyone. City has done a great job fixing up the trails and the lake 's surroundings. If it weren't for some overzealous tree pruning it would be perfect. Motorists please drive slow.

During WWII captured German POWs (who served with the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel) in Africa were housed in barracks on the shores of White Rock Lake.

Curtis McLean

Great place to walk and clear your head. Then set up a hammock and chill .

The bike paths and roads surrounding the lake get really busy on the weekends, filled with weekend warriors and serious cyclists. Amateurs ride at their own risk. Powered by ParentsConnect.com
