Known foriconicreservoirurban natureEast Dallas staple
A sprawling 1,015-acre urban oasis centered on a reservoir, beloved by cyclists, runners, kayakers, and birders who circle the 9.3-mile trail around the lake. The Dallas Arboretum sits on its eastern shore, and the Bath House Cultural Center hosts local art shows. Parking lots fill fast on weekend mornings, and the trail can be congested with cyclists, so yield etiquette matters.
