The Cypress Waters Trail, officially opened in October 2022, offers a picturesque 6-mile loop around North Lake, providing a perfect blend of nature and art for outdoor enthusiasts. This trail, with both paved and gravel paths, is a haven for walkers, hikers, and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat from city life.

Exciting developments are on the horizon, with Dallas County set to pave an additional mile on the trail’s west side, enhancing accessibility and connectivity. As you explore, you’ll encounter unique art installations, including the striking sculptures of Icarus and Sudan the Rhino, setting the stage for more artistic expressions to come.

Adding to the trail’s charm are the Texas-sized boulders strategically placed around the lake, each engraved with inspirational quotes, offering moments of reflection as you journey through this natural oasis.

The Cypress Waters Trail is also part of an Agriculture Exemption area, where you might be delighted to spot cattle cooling off in North Lake, adding a touch of rural Texas charm to your outdoor experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the Cypress Waters Trail invites you to connect with nature, enjoy art, and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of North Texas.
