It’s hard to find a good map of white rock and santa fe trails anywhere online.
Where does the new bridge over garland road lead to?
I live off ferguson and lakeland and want to get to white rock without having to cross garland rd. Can I now cross on new bridge?

My understanding is that the opening date depends on when the bridge over Garland Rd. is manufactured and shipped here. The trail itself will be done before that time, and the bridge should arrive (in one big piece!) sometime between now and June.

Hello! Great photos! I am also excited about the trail! I live directly on it and have been excited to see the rapid progress the past few months. Anybody have any idea when construction will be complete? To where you can take it all the way to the lake. I’m close to Woodrow.

Best!

I can't really remember too much of our ride in Dallas, sadly. I went with friends and was tagging along; I was not the navigator. And my Dallas geography kind of sucks (although it is getting better). If you ride on the Trinity River Trail, I recommend taking the branch that goes toward Benbrook Lake. It is probably the part that is most interesting and also well traveled. There is a section that is closed for construction, though. Here is my Bikely route that is a reasonably short detour to get past the closed section: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Trinity-Trail-at-University-Detour

At the Deep Ellum end of the Trail, the City will ultimately be connecting that end to Fair Park and Baylor Hospital. This Trail is going to be so cool when it’s finished.

Mr D, did you ride under the High 5 when you were tooling along the White Rock Creek trail? It’s not far from there and they are quickly joining the Cottonwood trail to the White Rock Creek. Soon you’ll be able to ride from Plano Texas to downtown Dallas.

Exactly, Doohickie. That is indeed the White Rock Creek trail heading north from that White Rock DART station. From the White Rock DART station, you will soon be able to cross Northwest Highway and go either direction around the lake, because the new Santa Fe Trail will be almost exactly across the lake. I have to head out to Cowtown soon and figure out your trail system. I keep hearing good things about it!

This is very cool. I took the TRE from Fort Worth to Dallas a couple months ago, then we took the light rail to White Rock Lake. After riding around the lake we took the trail north (is it called White Rock Creek?) until just shy of I-635. Then we turned around and did the same return trip. Next time, maybe we can ride all the way back to downtown Dallas.
