Lavon Lake Trinity Trail for horseback riding and hiking

New Trail training opportunities

Nov. 3, 2022 – We’ve moved our new 2 3ft x 20ft culverts into place that will be used for the Snider Lane re-route creek crossing. If you (or your horse), need extra training on spooky trail things, try riding by them, otherwise, continue using the original trail bed. We’ll let you know when the culverts have been installed.

NTMWD Wilson Creek Plant update

Nov. 3, 2022 – The construction on the east-west incoming line corridor (second corridor when going north) is underway. They are digging a deep trench and placing the new pipes within it. You can cross directly across the construction zone and enter the Sycamore loop on the west side, and continue on to reach the Sycamore tree. However, using the east end of the loop would require you to ride alongside the construction site with all their machinery, so I’d advise turning around and exiting the loop from the west side. Be cautious and watch for moving machinery and trucks. It would appear that the construction is only going on during weekdays, but I could be wrong and they might also be working weekends.

Do Not Park on Rolling Meadows or side roads in St Paul

Parking 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.
