June 9, 2025, Grapevine Lake Trail

As the name would suggest, the North Shore Trail runs along the north shore of Grapevine Lake. The 8,000 acre reservoir is a popular recreation destination.

Low to Mid tech elements. Butt kicker on a 90+ degree day. I made it only part way but many chances to cut the ride short and even more to add if you can keep going.

At roughly 8,000 acres, it's no wonder why Grapevine Lake is one of the most popular reservoirs in this part of Texas. There are a handful of trails that intertwine on the northern banks of the water and offer pretty continuous views.

Nice small pond in Wilkerson Park. There is a picnic table around the banks of the pond, so it is a great place for a break during your hike.

The Flower Mound is a hill that stands 50 meters above the mostly flat countryside around it. There are many legends surrounding the origin of the hill. Historians believe it got its name from the unusual number of wildflowers that grow on the hill.

The nicely maintained trail stays relatively flat and meanders with plenty of shade through a heavily wooded area. You'll find plenty of spots to enjoy the view of Grapevine Lake, especially at sunset.
