Legacy Trail 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 on the south end. The route shown here is an out-and-back that goes north on the trail, then turns around and returns to the starting point. It is possible, however, to create a loop with the Preston Ridge Trail and Bluebonnet Trail—see that route option, mapped separately. And, of course, you can cover even more miles if you're feeling ambitious.

While this greenway is very popular with road bikers, it's also a great spot for a peaceful walk or run without having to worry about vehicle traffic.
