Trinity Trails




 The Fort Worth Trinity Trails are a great place for locals to run and cycle while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful sights. The trails forms a spider web path throughout the city and its suburbs. The Fort Worth Branch of the trails makes up about 88-miles and follows along either side of the Trinity River.

Trinity Park

Trinity Park is a great place to go with your friends and family. They have a few different play grounds, picnic tables and a rock path that crosses the river. This is probably the most popular area of the Trinity Trails. The park is also where festivals take place like Mayfest. Mayfest is an annual event that takes place in the park for one weekend. They have stages set up for performers, food and drinks, live music and craft vendors. Mayfest also promotes The Trinity River Vision and informs attendees of their future plan.

Panther Island Pavilion

Another popular and well known area of the Trinity Trails is Panther Island Pavilion. This area has a beach for people to hang out and they have an area to rent supplies like kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. Panther Island also has two stages that are set up for live concerts they have during the warmer seasons. Some of the more popular events held at Panther Island are Rockin' the River, Oktoberfest, Untapped Fest and Fort Worth's Annual Music Festival. 

Overall, the Trinity Trails are a great place to hang out with family and friends, while it is also a great place to work out. The city of Fort Worth is working to add onto the trails and make them a more common place for locals to hang out. 

One of the future plans is to have water taxis, riverboat dining, gondolas, kayaks and other boats transport people from the future Stockyards Marina, through downtown and into Trinity Park.

What do you think? Do these Trinity Trail plans make you interested in checking it out? What else would you like to see them add to the trails?
