RedRider3141 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Cross posted in MTBR but I thought I'd ask y'all too. I'll be visiting family around Christmas up, north of Lewisville Lake in Dallas. Exploring Trailforks I see a couple of trail systems within a short drive of where I am stating. It will probably end up being a father/ daughter ride with my kid on a 24" wheel bike. She likes rollers and banks and can walk anything too technical. Any recommendations? Anything I missed? 1) Erwin Park, Front Runner based on googling 2) Hartlee Field, hard to tell but looks pretty boring from google earth 3) Ray Roberts, a little far, but looks like lots of variety.

Barry Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Sister Grove is pretty close. I rode it during Judgment Day this year, and It's a fun little trial. A bit rooty, but not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Erwin Park all day long! I've ridden it many times and taken my sons there when they were younger. I hate to overuse the analogy but its WC'esck but IMHO more scenic and rolling. I've never ridden Hartlee Field, in fact never hear of it. Ray Roberts sounds familiar but I think it goes by another name (for the trail). And if its the one I think it is, then its legitimately a bit technical. Its got a decent bit of embedded sharp rocks and some chunk. Later, CJB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have Irwin Park as a part of 'Judgment Day'??? Irwin is a quality trail for the area and was a staple when I lived there. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 They mix up the parks each time. Last year they didn't even have NorthShore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
