Hikes the Great Trinity Forest
October 24^th, 2026

Dallas Sierra Club is excited to offer a day hike in the Great Trinity Forest in Dallas. This will be a unique opportunity to hike off trail in the wilds of Dallas. Wear your boots and be prepared to be awed (and possibly get your feet wet). The hike will go off the main trails, down old service roads, and tucked away in little parcels.
Explore parts of the McCommas Bluff Preserve few people visit, including some south of the Trinity River with majestic old pecans plus gorgeous woods and prairies off Elam Creek. After a break for snacks (bring your own), venture through forests old and new to view McCommas Bluff itself from across the river. If there’s time, we’ll hoof it to a large pond frequented by waterfowl next to the McCommas Bluff Landfill. Final route depends on the weather as there are a couple of creek crossings.

Registration: Registration: Complete the RSVP (on this page) and the Participation Agreement. Please have each participant complete a separate RSVP (including any youth). If youth will attend the event, a parent or legal guardian must accompany the youth. The adult can register the youth, but please use a separate RSVP. Note: due to the limit of the number of participants, we request that you only register if you are going to attend.

What to Bring: Comfortable close-toed shoes, water, and your curiosity!

What not to bring: Pets, radios, firearms, tobacco products or alcohol.

This is unfettered nature. Plan for your hike:

Trails are mostly level but with some steep grades and we will go off trail and over creeks.
We’ll walk at a good pace, with stops for exceptional naturalist points of interest.
Dress appropriately for the weather. Wear boots or closed-toe shoes and long pants to protect your legs. Carry sunscreen, bug spray, personal medications, etc.
Bring water, a sack lunch, and snacks.
No pets, firearms, radios or smoking, please.
Length: 6 to 8 miles
Time: 3 hours to 4 hours
This will be unfettered nature, so keep in mind:
Off trail Terrain will frequently be rugged with some creek crossings.
Most trails will be narrow and dirt.
