Connecting Dallas to Dallas
The Loop Dallas is the private partner of the City of Dallas, leading the funding, design, construction, programming, maintenance and safety of a 50-mile circuit trail.
It is uniting the nation’s 9th largest city with a city-wide bike and pedestrian active transportation system that joins 39 miles of existing trails in Dallas with 11 miles of newly built trails. A catalyst for economic and physical mobility, The Loop Dallas will be a lifeline between communities, connecting people to public transportation, walkable green space and one another.
As Dallas continues to grow and attract new businesses and residents, investing in a state-of-the-art transportation system connecting neighborhoods throughout the city is one of the most important investments Dallas can make for our residents for generations to come. The Loop Dallas is a shared public asset that’s making green space a part of our city’s identity, connecting communities and changing the way people move through them.

My Dallas Trail Story
Dallas stands apart when you travel by trail
Each trail is an opportunity for people who live or work nearby to incorporate exercise and nature into their daily routine. Trails help walkers, runners and riders connect to parks and places to work, shop and dine without driving a car, and offer a welcome break from busy city life.
