Legacy Trail

The cool temperatures are finally arriving and it’s time to head outside. Legacy Trail in northwest Plano allows you to do that while making you feel like you’re not in the suburbs.

The nearly 4.5 mile trail takes you through a variety of scenery that can distract you as you’re running, biking or walking. Beginning near Spring Creek Parkway and Windhaven Parkway, the public can park their vehicles at a nearby park and take the adventure through the woods to open fields that are filled with native plants. The trail will end near Rasor Park by the intersection of Coit Road and McDermott Road.

It’s not uncommon to see families, people walking their dogs, or people training along the paved path. The quietness of the trail is surprising for being alongside some of the busiest roads in Plano (Spring Creek Parkway and Preston Road).

The best part of the trail is near the Children’s Hospital. Livestock still live around that area, so it’s not uncommon to see a few horses grazing in the distance. In this same area of the trail, there is a dirt trail down to a section of the river that is typically very shallow. It’s very popular area for see kids to explore or for dogs to take a swim.

This trail is great please to get your exercise and peace. People are very kind along the path and typically let you know if they’re going to pass you. Legacy trail is a go-to when you need a quick workout or you want to get outside without driving outside the suburb.
