About the Location
Trail System
The Greenbelt Corridor features a multi-use trail system that accommodates hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The main trail is a gravel path that runs alongside the river, offering visitors scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
The corridor stretches approximately 20 miles from Lake Ray Roberts Dam southward towards Lake Lewisville. This natural area follows the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River.
Natural Environment
The area is characterized by bottomland hardwood forests, open prairies, and wetlands, providing diverse habitats for local wildlife. The park serves as an important ecological corridor, supporting various plant and animal species native to North Texas.
Visitors to the Greenbelt Corridor can enjoy activities such as birdwatching, nature photography, and fishing in the Trinity River.
Access Points
There are three main access points to the park: one near FM 455 at the Ray Roberts Dam, another at FM 428 (Sherman Drive), and a southern access point at US 380. Each of these locations provides parking facilities and access to the trail system.
It's worth noting that parts of the park may be subject to periodic flooding, especially after heavy rains, due to its location along the river. Visitors are advised to check current conditions before planning their trip.
Management
The Greenbelt Corridor is part of the Ray Roberts Lake State Park system and is managed by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
