MADD Shelter

I rode 1-3- took it easy since i am in recovery mode but enjoyed the nice flow of loops 1-3. Then walked loop 5 with my puppies- I’ll hike that side next time.
One direction flow helps everyone, all the people I met hiker, dog walkers and bikers all super friendly happy to share the trails. Bike repair station, well shaded on the trails and well marked signage.

This is a great trail designed by D.O.R.B.A, that is mainly for mountain biking, but is also good for hiking too. There are a lot of bicycle riders here, so I would suggest taking the wrong way sign at the trailhead. This will allow you to see riders coming from the front and not from behind. I would also suggest bring hiking boots and plenty of water.

I have visited the North Shore Trail System twice this summer. On my first hike, I walked loops 5-7 in the evening. The trails were of moderate difficulty and were a little tougher than expected. I enjoyed the views and workout that 5-7 offered.

On my second visit, I hiked loops 1-4. I enjoyed the views from this trail more. There are multiple good places along the trails to take a break to sit or walk to the shore.

Flower Mound is beautiful and has great trail systems for mountain biking and hiking in or near its city limits. The Knob Hills bike trails on the far west side of Flower Mound are another excellent place to walk and enjoy natural scenery. Knob Hills trails are in a less developed setting, whereas the Northshore Trails connect a few parks and occasionally pass near residential neighborhoods.

MADD Shelter is a picnic shelter and a starting point for the Northshore Trail in Murrell Park. Large parking lot. Trail map. It’s a bike and hiking trail. You have to be able to hear bikes and get out of their way. I saw bikers of all ages, but if you’re hiking it’s not the place for kids. Narrow dirt trail with some terrain.

It’s a starting stir of some trails at Northshore trail near to the grapevine lake. You can find the trails being shared by riders, runners and walkers. Be careful when it rains as some sports can get muddy and slippery.

Great place to park for a hike or mtb ride! The parking lot looks like it would be very busy, but you seem to be all alone on the trails.

One of the best mountain biking trail near Dallas !

Predominantly bikers on this trail. I used it for hiking and it’s a good trail for that. Very narrow so if you’re with a group you’ll have to walk in a line. The trails are one way but once we got tired we just turned around because it wasn’t busy at all. we went around noon on a Saturday and saw maybe 5-10 other people the whole time. Really quiet and clean trail as well. I will say that because of how narrow it is when bikers are coming you basically have to jump into the bushes to get out of the way on certain points in the trail. I had my toddler and we wore her in a carrier. Strollers would not do well at all on this trail. Overall nice walking experience.

Watch out for the mountain bike riders! If the trail is open, they will be riding. Walk the opposite direction the bikes go and keep alert. Everyone must share, but folks that ride MTB are f’ing nuts and about as dumb.

Cooler and breezy for a June 10th afternoon ride.

Loops 1-7 are great, but Loop 8 is the best MTB riding in DFW.

Right up there with the best MTB in North Texas. Offered challenging terrain I hadn't encountered at other trails in the area. Worth the drive, even if you aren't near by, plenty of trail to ride!

Wonderful place to run
Delicious spot of nature in a concrete jungle. Popular meeting spot for runners and cyclists. Don't wreck our trails by removing rocks and roots. Leave the hazards there. That's what makes it fun.

I think this is the best starting point for Northshore trail

Best place to start riding from when you are out riding Northshore mtb trail. Go east from this trail head starts u off at loop 1 all the way to loop 4. Going west starts at loop 5 then to loop 6 which is twin coves. At loop 6 u will meet a road. If u follow the arrows on the pavement u will get to loop 7

Awesome bike trails close to your house!!

My favorite MTB trail in DFW. A little mix of everything except proper jumps, bring fresh legs for the big boy climbs.

Mountain Biking at North Shore is always excellent , and the MADD start provides ample parking and quick access to the West or East loops.

Best mountain biking trail in the Metroplex. I've been riding this trail since 1999 and they've drastically improved it over the years. It's a bit challenging if you're a beginner.

Great trail even for beginners the boy loved the East trail....
