DFW offers diverse biking experiences, from city loops like the White Rock Lake Trail and the Katy Trail for paved scenic rides, to extensive network trails like the Fort Worth Trinity Trails, and challenging mountain bike destinations such as the Northshore Trail and Oak Cliff Nature Preserve. Paved trails are abundant for casual rides and city exploration, while gravel paths and specialized mountain bike trails provide opportunities for off-road adventure and natural scenery. Many trails are suitable for families and beginner cyclists, while others are more challenging and offer multi-loop options for all skill levels.

Sharing the Path - Trail Etiquette

We all play a part in keeping the multi-use trails safe and useful for everyone.
​Check out these tips from the League of American Bicyclists ​
1. Be Courteous 
  • Respect other trail users; joggers, walkers, bladers, wheelchairs all have trail rights
  • Respect slower cyclists; yield to slower users
  • Obey speed limits; they are posted for your safety

2. Announce when passing
  • Use a bell, horn or voice to indicate your intention to pass
  • Warn other well in advance so you do not startle them
  • Clearly announce "On your left" when passing

3. Yield when entering and crossing
  • Yield to traffic at places where the trail crosses the road
  • Yield to other users at trail intersections
  • Slow down before intersections and when entering the trail from the road

4. Keep right
  • Stay as close to the right as possible, except when passing
  • Give yourself enough room to maneuver around any hazards
  • Ride single file to avoid possible collisions with other trail users​ ​

​5. Pass on left
  • Scan ahead and behind before announcing your intention to pass another user
  • Pull out only when you are sure the lane is clear
  • Allow plenty of room, about two bike lengths, before moving back to the right
6. Be predictable
  • Travel in a straight line unless you are avoiding hazards or passing
  • Indicate your intention to turn or pass
  • Warn other users of your intentions

7. Use lights at night
  • Most trail users will not have lights at night; use a white front and red rear light
  • Watch for walkers as you will overtake them the fastest
  • Reflective clothing does not help in the absence of light

8. Do not block the trail
  • For group rides, use no more than half the trail; don't hog the trail
  • During heavy use periods (holidays and weekends) stay single file
  • Stop and regroup completely off of the trail

9. Clean up litter
  • Pack out more than you pack in
  • Encourage others to respect the path
  • Place all litter in its proper receptacle

10. Limitations for transportation
  • Most paths were not designed for high-speed, high volume traffic
  • Use paths keeping in mind their recreational nature
  • It might be faster to use roads and avoid the traffic on the paths during heavy use
