Walking/Hiking trails?

[motoman]

Any suggestions for walking/hiking trails that aren't on concrete around the area?

Cedar Hill... I've done some trail runs there.

Any mountain bike trail.
Just know that trail etiquette dictates that if you're on foot you do the trail in reverse.

You could also go explore the Great Trinity Forest:

I've helped Groundwork Dallas do some trail building out there in the past - there's a lot of shit to see and places to explore.

I was thinking about some of the Dorba trails but wasn't sure if those were a good place to go. I hadn't thought about doing them in reverse.

The one in cedar hill is nice and not too far out of the way.

Any Dorba trail would be great. I see people hiking out on the trails all the time when I'm riding.

Thees 12 miles of horse/pedestrian trails around Benbrook Lake that are nice and the trails at Sansom Park are nice.

This. It is a little over 11 miles in trails. I use to go twice a week and hike. When I was a fat ass cat tail was rough on me. It has some pretty decent elevation changes along with cedar break. The rest of the trails are really easy and just add some mileage. After I had lost all my weight I hiked them all in one shot. Took me a while if I remember and I burned like 2000 calories.

This may sound stupid, but hit any and all public land hunting area's and go look for shed antlers.

Eagle Mountain Lake has some gravel trails that lead to the lake. Couple miles of trails I would say.

I have hiking trail entrances within a quarter mile of my house. Generally I hit them on my dirtbike. Definitely around the area for me, too far for most of the DFW folks to venture I'd guess. It covers about 14 miles near the shoreline area.

I live in Cedar Bayou

^cross timbers is bad ass.

Make sure you bring plenty of water or a way to filter the lake water.

At least in the summer.

I did my first hike/camp there and made all the newby mistakes. New shoes (blisters), got off trail (exhausting), didn't bring enough water for 95 degree temps (had to boil lake water)

Most state parks around have hiking trails. Pitch a tent and with a girlfriend then let her take it down.
