about the strand

Construction has begun on a 7.8 mile hike and bike trail along the old Trinity River watercourse, adjacent to downtown Dallas. The Trinity Strand Trail will improve air quality, provide recreational opportunities and promote ecotourism for our citizens and visitors to the city.

Connecting area hotels, DART, medical facilities, businesses, and residential dwellings, the trail will attract new development to the Riverfront neighborhood. The Strand will extend Dallas? trail system and enhance the range and benefits of the Katy Trail and Trinity River Project recreational facilities.

The Trinity Strand Trail will connect to the Katy Trail by Oak Lawn Avenue and will allow access to the Southwestern Medical District, Dallas Market Center, Infomart, Stemmons Corridor businesses and the Design District. The trail will facilitate active lifestyles and provide appealing, safe transportation alternatives to urban residents and commuters.
