Venue Description
The Katy Trail is a 3.5-mile trail that was created on a defunct railroad. This is a "see and be seen" kind of trail since you can access quite a few restaurants along the trail, but is also used by serious athletes. Enjoy the paved trail or the extended sections of pedestrian-only trail. Find full trail details, including a map, parking info, and available restrooms, here: https://katytraildallas.org/trail-info/

Detail Notes
From friends of the Katy Trail: "In addition to being the premier destination for jogging, biking, skating, and walking in Dallas... The Katy Trail, as most locals know it, began in 2000, but the history of the Katy Trail stretches back nearly a hundred years to the age of railroads. Union Pacific Railroad built the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad and established the network in 1865 as the Southern Branch. The route was also commonly called the K-T, and eventually the Katy. Following the heyday of the railroad, Union Pacific donated the abandoned lines to the city of Dallas in 1993." This space was turned into Dallas's Katy Trail.
