Trinity River Greenbelt
Website Directions

The Trinity River Greenbelt is an open-space nature preserve along the river corridor in the greater Dallas area featuring rustic trails, wetlands, and hardwood bottomland forests. It offers visitors a serene escape for wildlife viewing, hiking, and enjoying untamed Texas river landscapes. While less developed than urban parkways, it serves as a vital ecological sanctuary and outdoor retreat.

Quick tip: Wear water-resistant hiking shoes and check local conditions before visiting, as unpaved trails along the floodplain can stay muddy following rainfall.
