3 Best Hiking Trails in Plano, TX

Nice wide open paved trails for running & walking--there are also some unpaved ones that go through the woods. A great place to meet up with friends & family.

Beautiful place with lots of trails to walk on. It’s covered in trees and has a beautiful small lake.

Our favorite paved trails park. Beautiful trails and very quiet place.

Such a cute spot. It’s playground is designed for ages 2-5. There’s a trail along a waterfront area beside it and plenty of benches and tables sprinkled around. Every time I’ve been here people are wearing masks and respecting social distancing as best as possible. The kids still need to play. It’s a nice spot to do so while waiting to pick up the middle school kid.

This is a nice concrete trail that is great for running, walking or biking. Plenty of trees and grassy areas to see and use line the trail. The trail runs beside the creek which is also nice to enjoy. Picnic areas are located along the trail with grills you can use to roast hot dogs or marshmallows. The lawns are well maintained, but you need to be careful with poison ivy. It's everywhere along the creek in spring and summer, so don't stray from the path unless you know how to identify it (I included a picture of it). The trees also have lots of mistletoe which you can see in the winter. Not much to do about that, though. My only major complaint is with certain dog owners that let their dogs poop everywhere. There are trash cans and signs everywhere. If it's too much work to clean up, Plano also has animal shelters you can go to.

Beautiful trail with plenty of open areas, next to a body of water, a few parks scattered about, and plenty of benches to sit and relax, talk or just enjoy the view. The grass and trees are maintained well. And if you’re a cyclist, like I am, you will enjoy the wide pathways allowing for smooth rides and the ease of passing by pedestrians.
