Cedar Ridge Preserve boasts some of the best hiking trails in North Texas.
Joe Pool Lake is on the edge of the city limits.
Just 20 minutes from downtown Dallas, you’re in a hilly forest, surrounded by songbirds and dragonflies, and on occasion — because it’s so quiet — a sun-bathing snake.
Cedar Ridge is on top of the White Rock Escarpment, so several hikes include steep, chalky stairs and incredible views of tree-filled valleys that feel out of place in North Texas.
There are small, picturesque bridges, babbling creeks, and waving grassland that, come springtime, is covered within vibrant wildflowers.
If you take the Cattail Pond Trail at Cedar Ridge Preserve, you’ll reach a quiet watering hole with a bench and a wooden deck.
Southwest Dallas features some of the best off-road biking in North Texas.
