Beautiful trails, the best I know of in the area! But, watch your step, there is poison ivy everywhere. It s easy to avoid if you stay in the center of the trail, but as you get closer to the sides, there is plenty of the ivy

Plenty of very wooded trails to hike and get lost in once you tire of the paved ones. If youre lucky, you might spot snapping turtles in the creek which, if you havent seen them before, strike you as quite unique. Just dont try to touch them. Also a nice place for birders. Bring your binoculars along! The concrete trails are kid-friendly but you might have to help your tots on their cycles on uphill sections.

Beautiful trail! The inclines were doable for beginner walkers. Its definitely crowded on the weekends from 8:30am to 10am, but everyone is friendly...just say Good Morning, and keep it moving! Walking and parking were free!

This is one of my favorite places to go and clear my head and enjoy nature. Its peaceful even with lots of people around. Just make sure you bring a bottle of water or something and have on a good pair of supportive shoes because the walks can be long but thats what I love about it Visited on

This place is so amazing! This hidden gem in Plano makes me never want to leave the area. This place has plenty of trails, lakes, waterfalls and trees. Today was my first day going and I cant wait to go back. I will definitely be here at least twice a week. Great walking trails for both adventurers and those wanting to stay on the concrete path.

We have been going here with the kids for years. We let them play in the creek and they get all muddy and dirty and they love it.

I honestly didn t think there was a place to hike that was not only local to me but that had plenty of shading and terrain. It is my opinion that the paved trail is for beginners and the many non-paved trails were intermediate level. I loved that there were strategically placed restroom stops. Five stars all the way.

During my first visit to this park in early August 2024, I saw a man propose to his girlfriend and she said yes. It was such a beautiful moment to witness on a random day at a random park. Maybe to them it has a special significance. So I took this picture of the sunset that was right behind them to remember that moment :) I hope they get to find this one day.

You can follow the concrete path or dirt paths hidden in the preserve. Without a dog, medium walking is about 30-45 minutes. People are friendly, but still take your protection ladies. I went around 11AM and it was packed but if you feel like doing dirt path then yes just stay protected, regardless. Pets are allowed but smaller dogs may struggle in the heat.

I recently visited Arbor Hills Nature Preserve and had a wonderful experience exploring the park s trails. The preserve is beautifully maintained, and the cleanliness of the trails stood out to me. There was no litter to be seen, and the pathways were well-kept and free of debris, making for a pleasant and enjoyable hike. The natural scenery is stunning, with diverse flora and fauna creating a serene and picturesque environment. The trails are well-marked, making it easy to navigate through the preserve and enjoy the various viewpoints and resting spots. The facilities, including restrooms and picnic areas, were also clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience. It s clear that the staff takes great care in preserving the beauty and cleanliness of the park. Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy nature, take a peaceful walk, or have a family outing. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

An awesome place to walk trails! It has so much variety. The park has beautiful wildflower fields, wooded trails, paved trails and streams. There are easy trails and some steeper trails if you want to challenge yourself. There are designated bicycle trails as well. On the weekends there are a lot of people, but it was still peaceful to me because I took the wooded trail most of the time. There is at least one pavilion that you can reserve for get-togethers. It is right next to the playground. They have restrooms at the beginning of the trail that are not amazing but serviceable (I ve seen much worse). They also have doggie bags and trash receptacles throughout the paved trail. This park is so well kept and beautifully designed! Round of applause to those who created the park and tend to its upkeep!
