Trinity Trail on Lavon Lake for horseback riding and hiking

Trail Warning!!!
TTPA Warning Feb 23, 2026- A dangerous sinkhole has opened just north of the Brockdale trailhead, be very careful going past it (or don’t attempt it). It is very deep (5ft +) and extends under most of the trailbed. We’ll let you know when it is fixed. See our FB page for a picture.

East Fork Trailhead in Wylie is closed

June 28, 2025 – Road construction on the Park Blvd extension has begun and it no longer safe to ride on the trail where it runs along Skyview Dr. The entrance gate to the trailhead will be closed until the road project is complete and conditions are safe once again.

Caution at White Rock Creek crossing

Sept 1, 2024 – You may use the crossing at White Rock Creek. We have inspected it to the best of our abilities and the 15ft trailbed across the creek is safe. However, there are still soft spots, upstream and downstream from the crossing trailbed. DO NOT leave the trailbed (15ft wide) when crossing the creek. DO NOT go near the pools of water up or downstream. DO NOT leave the trailbed crossing to get on the gravel bar up or downstream. DO GO STRAIGHT across. There is silt at the base of the cut on the picnic table side of the creek that will get muddy and soft with rain.

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 Lavon Lake 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.
