The Katy Trail runs from the West End and the American Airlines Center arena in the south, through Dallas past Knox Street, up to SMU and Mockingbird DART Station in the north.
It can be very aerobic or leasurely. The sights are a perfect mix of forest and urban. There are joggers and rollerbladers on the path as well which can be difficult when the trail is busy. I personally love it.
The trail is being extended this summer to reach from American Airlines Center to Airline Road near SMU. There will be more entrances and extensions to other parks in the future. The website will keep you updated on progress. http://www.katytraildallas.com
There is an entrance at Knox St. You can park behind WierÃs Furniture. From Hwy 75, go west on Knox Street, turn left on Travis, go one block to Armstrong and make a right. Turn right behind Wiers and you will find gravel parking. <br /><br /> You will find another entrance at Lemmon and Cole. From Hwy 75, go west on Lemmon and make a left on Cole. Go through the next red light and you will find Carlisle Place on your right. Turn right on Carlisle Place and you will drive up to gravel parking for the entrance. If you get to Hall St. before turning onto Carlisle Place, you have gone to far.<br /><br />
