Trinity Trail Preservation Association
Lavon Lake Trinity Trail for horseback riding and hiking
All Trailheads are CLOSED – but…Feb 15 – Winter’s rainy season has arrived and left the trail in a state of too muddy to hike and ride safely, so we’ve closed the trail and locked the entry gates at each of our three trailheads. The lake is at 492.49ft (2.16ft high), so all of the trail is above water but there is standing water everywhere. When the trail has dried out some, we’ll announce the re-opening of the trail here and on our Facebook page. Save the Date! TTPA Tack Sale – 25 April 2020TTPA is hosting a Tack Sale so start cleaning out your tack room for items you don’t use anymore. We usually have a good turn out so if you are in the market for tack or related horse items, plan to attend. See Tack Sale Details Page for more information. Do Not Park on Rolling Meadows or side roads in St PaulParking horse trailers on Rolling Meadows Rd (which leads to the Collin Park picnic tables) or any of its side roads creates a safety and access hazard for the residents there. |
Riders along Trinity Trail
The Trinity Trail Preservation Association (TTPA) was established in 1996 as a non-profit all-volunteer trail preservation organization.
Our main purpose is to maintain the 25.5 mile long trail on Corps of Engineers land on Lake Lavon and encourage hikers, joggers, nature lovers, photographers, and trail riders to use the scenic trail.
This multi-purpose trail offers a relaxing way to get close to nature without a long drive. On a weekend day you’ll find scout troops, nature lovers, horse back riders and families out for the day enjoying the trail. No wheeled vehicles or motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail.
Active Organization
In addition to maintaining the 25.5 mile long trail, the TTPA holds trail rides, cookouts, work days, educational events and fund-raising activities. The organization also works with area environmental groups, schools, scout troops and individuals to educate the public about parks, trails and recreational facilities in the north Texas area.
