shamefully difficult to navigate. If the Dallas Off Road Biking Association would pay me 20 bucks I could go in with a can of spray paint and do a better job marking these trails in two hours than they have in the decade Ive lived in Dallas.

I love hiking and everything seems awesome different areas to run and very easily to sweat . There is an issue tho people that stay in the woods like tents and trash in the river and black murky river. Some tents are near the schools and Ive been running here since 2021 I just hope they remove it. Thank you still willing to enjoy the hike.

Its an enjoyable and fun trail, suitable even for beginners. The drop and jump stations make it great for practice. While it can get a bit hot in the summer, the trail is beautiful during the fall season.

It was my first time there and I throughly enjoyed the trails. Alot of decent inclines and declines but overall a good leisure hike. I definitely feel bikers would enjoy it alot. I wish people would stop throwing trash in or around hiking trails. We all should respect nature and help keep it clean. So happy to see good clear signs posted that help guide us through the trails. Yes, there are some areas that are a bit sketchy but, if you bring a buddy you should be okay. I definitely would go back and with my family again.

Oakcliffe Nature Preserve offered an exceptional outdoor experience that ticked all the right boxes. The trails were absolutely stunning, characterized by lush landscapes that evoke a profound sense of tranquility. They ve been meticulously designed, providing a balance of beauty and practicality that s appreciated by any nature enthusiast. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the ease of navigation. Even without prior knowledge of the area, we found it easy to traverse the winding trails - perfect for a day of outdoor biking. The combination of well-paved paths and breathtaking scenery was simply delightful. If there was a slight hiccup in our adventure, it was the somewhat limited signage. On a few occasions, we had to rely on our instincts rather than clear indicators. That being said, it didn t drastically affect our overall experience. In a way, it added an element of surprise to our journey. In conclusion, Oakcliffe Nature Preserve is a paradise for outdoor lovers, bikers, and anyone who appreciates a well-designed trail. The slight lack of clear signage was a minor drawback in what was otherwise a fantastic visit. We ll certainly be back, eager to explore more of what this beautiful reserve has to offer.

Great MTB trails. Roots and some rocks, mostly dirt (covered with leaves in the winter). Walk what you can t ride. Go with someone who knows the trail system for optimal enjoyment. There is signage but riding with friends is always better. Riding at night? Find someplace else-the parking lot area seems a little sketchy.

The trails are color coded, each trail is a loop. Theres a lot of little bridges and nice size hills,some are rocky. Good trail besides all the trash. I do recommend if youre looking for an intense trail Picnic area: There were a few picnic benches

This has been one of my favorite trails in Dallas so far, besides all the trash throughout the trails. I started with the light colored trails first, Next time I will start with the dark colored trails. There are colored marks and signs,but you really have to pay attention to them or will travel the same trail twice I love the hills and rock stairs, it gives it that intensity! I finished the trails in a little over 2 hours. There are separate trails for bikes, but not all bikers use them, so be mindful of that. The trails have bike ramps and quit a few bridges you have to cross. A lot of trees along the trails are color code to pair with the trail you are on and there are QR trail codes you can scan There is what appears to be a homeless encampment somewhere by the trail, but I didnt see any homeless people. Overall great hike! I will definitely be going back

The white trail is the main trail where you find the other trails to offshoot to. 8 miles of hike-&-bike trails. 6 different loops Lots of trash in the front by the entrance but beautiful preserve once you get going. This was my first time I will be back to try the rest of the trails, we did the white loop this visit.
