about the strand

The Trinity Strand Trail is 9.6-mile, hike/bike, commuter and recreational trail that will run along the course of the original Trinity River, also known as Old Meanders.  This part of the Trinity River flows through the heart of the Dallas Design District. 

The location of the “Strand” plays a key part of the re-development vision for the Old Trinity River corridor.  The Strand will connect the Katy Trail to the Trinity River Levee Trail and the entire Trinity River Greenbelt.  This unites many Dallas neighborhoods and offers residents commuter access to many business districts, in addition to the obvious recreational benefits of the trail.

Since 2002, The Friends of the Trinity Strand Trail, a non-profit organization, raised over seven million dollars in public and private funds for the trail.

Construction will start in 2008 and the first connection to the Trinity River should be complete in 2010.
