Legacy Trail -> Preston Ridge Trail -> Bluebonnet Trail Loop Map

The Legacy Trail is a paved greenway trail in Plano, Texas, just north of Dallas. This scenic path runs through a greenbelt along White Rock Creek, providing a welcome dose of nature in an otherwise suburban landscape.

Description

One of the best places to park a car and access the trail is Windhaven Meadows Park. The route shown here begins on the Legacy Trail and creates a clockwise loop by utilizing the Preston Ridge Trail and Bluebonnet Trail. Unfortunately, there is a short section of the loop that follows roads, but the vast majority of it is on non-motorized greenway trails.

While these greenways are very popular with road bikers, they also provide a great spot for a peaceful walk or run without having to worry about vehicle traffic.
