The 9.4-mile paved loop around this 1,015-acre lake is one of the most popular family biking routes in Dallas. The trail is wide and flat enough for kids on training wheels, and there are restrooms, water fountains, and picnic spots spaced around the whole loop. Families can rent kayaks and paddleboards right on the water, and the north end has a dog park for four-legged family members. On a clear day the downtown Dallas skyline makes a great backdrop for the ride.
