Trails · Uptown / Turtle Creek
A 5.5-mile paved rail-trail built on an old MKT railroad line, running through Uptown and Oak Lawn with tree cover, benches, and water fountains along the way. It is Dallas's most popular running and dog-walking path, passing patios and cafes in Uptown.
Shaded, well-maintained, and connected to dog-friendly patios, it is the default daily walk for thousands of Dallas dogs.
Dogs are welcome on the trail on a leash per Katy Trail rules enforced by the Friends of the Katy Trail and the City of Dallas leash ordinance. Trail hours are dawn to 11 p.m. per the city. Water fountains appear at intervals; carry bags and clean up. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
