ABOUT THE KATY TRAIL

Privately funded and supported by the community, the historic Katy Trail is built on an old railroad line and has quickly become an iconic destination for the people of Dallas. The Friends of the Katy Trail organization is the principal fundraiser for the Trail. Through generous donations and private support from businesses and individuals, the Katy Trail remains in peak condition for residents and visitors alike to enjoy Dallas’ beautiful, natural trail.

CURRENTLY BLOOMING ON THE KATY TRAIL

What's blooming on the trail?

Flowering Quince are in full bloom on the Trail! The plant blooms in late winter/ early spring. The fruit that can accompany the flower starts out very tart and becomes sweeter with each frost through the process of ``bletting``!
HOW YOU CAN HELP

The Katy Trail is 100% community supported. Friends of the Katy Trail is responsible for raising close to $1 Million each year to keep the Katy Trail in Peak Condition. Join today! Already a member of Friends of the Katy Trail?
