Harry Moss Trail

With long walking paths for pedestrians and cyclists alike, this park has plenty of mature trees for a cooler than normal outside temp. There are benches scattered throughout.

The Harry Moss Trail is a hike/​mountain bike trail maintained by DORBA (Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association) and part of the larger Harry Moss Park. It is located off of Greenville Avenue just north of Walnut Hill. Access is through the parking lot of Buckeye Liquor down a non paved road.
Being new to mountain, or since we’re in flat country, off road biking I was a little apprehensive about the whole experience. This trail was recommended by several sources as being more newbie friendly. It consists of several connected trails through mostly forested land. The trails are «single track» which means one-​way. Bikers travel in a counterclockwise direction, hikers clockwise. It’s safer that way.
For the less experienced, there are numerous bypasses. More experienced bikers can tackle more technical routes. Each trail is assigned a color and, from what I could tell, the Blue Trail is the beginning.
While I have logged many, many miles on my bike cruising around White Rock Lake, I found that this off road gig was ten times more challenging. And, by challenging, I mean by the time I was finished I was whipped.
Like most parks of this nature, it is closed after a rain. But the DORBA website is really quick to spread the word.
DORBA, a volunteer organization, maintains most if not all such parks. Their workdays are listed on their website and they welcome volunteers. DORBA also hosts numerous clinics and competitions.
Unlike some of the pictures listed here, I found the property to be very well maintained. Not a bit of litter did I see.
Oh, and by the way, the DWF area is consistently recognized by outside sources as having some of the best off road trails in the country.
