May has been Bike Month in Dallas and with the (mostly) beautiful spring weather on our side, it’s been an ideal time to get outside and enjoy the trails. Whether you’re a regular biker or just out for a walk, The Loop Dallas provides safer active spaces to explore the city, reconnect with nature and enjoy life on the move. Our trails are always designed with safety at the forefront. Wide, designated bike lanes reduce conflict between bikers and pedestrians, creating a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
Update: Wayfinding Just Got Easier on the Hi Line Connector
If you’ve ever explored the Design District and felt a little unsure of where the trail goes next — we hear you. We’ve installed new permanent placemaking signage along our latest completed trail, the Hi Line Connector.
These signs don’t just help you stay on track, they anchor the trail as a distinct place within the city. No matter where you are on the trail, one thing’s clear: You’re on The Loop Dallas.
My Dallas Trail Story: 50 Miles, One Year, Two Friends, One Maltese
We love seeing how our trail network sparks adventure and this recent feature from our Instagram series is one for the books.
Janie and her friend Jamie set out to walk the entire 50-mile trail network over the course of a year, with tiny Maltese Waffles trotting alongside the whole way.
From New Year’s Day to New Year’s Eve, they crossed historic floodplains, urban wetlands and scenic bridges. Janie’s favorite moments? Watching cranes along the Trinity, catching breezes at White Rock Lake, and using the Mockingbird bridge she wishes had been there during her SMU days.
Their journey was filled with surprise storms, race-day detours, new friends and lots of joy.

See you on the trails — don’t forget your water bottle and sunscreen!
