Dallas has numerous parks and trails for
recreation. Constructed in
1911, the White Rock Lake area is the
nearest city park to Forest Hills and
became a city park in 1929. There
are a number of lookout points built
around the lake. Perhaps the most
interesting one is below the dam,
especially after a heavy rain. The
park comprises 1,873 acres, of which
1,088 acres are the lake itself.
Other parks contiguous to White Rock
include the Flagpole Hill Park, Norbuck
Park, Lakewood Park, Tokalon Park, Lake
Highlands Park, and the Dallas
Arboretum.
White Rock Trail circumnavigates the
lake. The Katy Trail runs from the
American Airlines theater to McComas/Highland
Park. The Sante Fe trail runs from
The White Rock Lake Loop Trail West all
the way to the edge of Deep Ellum and
Fair Park and passes above Garland Rd. at the south end of White Rock Lake.
