Trail Description:
Arbor Hills is a great little trail for a quick blatt through the singletrack. It can get pretty technical in places and a few trees will test you helment or remove your bar-ends if you're not careful. Do a few loops then go play on the "backside" where there are a couple of technical hills and a nice long legburner after the creek crossing. Check www.dorba.org for more...

How to get there:
Take Parker road West from the North Dallas Tollway area. The park is on the North side of Parker road, a few blocks west of Midway rd. (North Dallas)

Additional Notes:
Not real technical, but can be aerobic. Have fun, be considerate of others, Good Dirt!!!

It's a great aerobic workout that's it. Nothing technical at all.

AH is a fun little trail. Has several good long duration climbs on the single trak. There are tons of trails, you just have to ride and explore the area. I rode yesterday with a friend and we spent 4 hours out there riding all kinds of trails.

For the time being, it is closed for construction. Check out the DORBA site for updates.

Its not a whole lot of fun really. You can never really let loose, there are far to many hikers and dog walkers on the trails unless you go in the middle of the day while everyone is at work. The single is decent but not great. Limestone is ever present just like most of Dallas, loose limestone paths add a touch of challenge to an otherwise ho-hum trail.

there is a high potentiality for running into another rider on the multiple trail crossings and fast switch backs but it is a fun trail to get on for an hour or two

Nice park area for the family, but don't expect to be challenged very much. It is a good place to stay in shape if you live close. I used to live close, so that was the nearest trail.
