How to Spend the Perfect Weekend in Fort Wort, Texas — With Cowboy Boots, Art, and Spicy Cocktails
"That afternoon, I got some fresh air at the Trailhead at Clearfork, a park along the Trinity River that is also home to shops and restaurants. The park’s Keith House Skyspace, a new work by James Turrell, was open by reservation only during my visit, but is expected to fully open later this year. As with Turrell’s other works, light and shadow are at play: sunlight from an aperture in the ceiling is choreographed to changing lighting in the space." - Nora Walsh Nora Walsh Nora Walsh is an award-winning writer who specializes in luxury hotels, Latin America, and the intersection of wellness and adventure travel.

This is my favorite place to go walking with my kids by far! 1 mile, 2 miles, 3…it doesn’t matter how short or long you spend here, it’s always an adventure! My daughter loves bringing her bike or scooter while I walk/jog pushing my younger kids in their stroller.
We love crossing the river, seeing the cattle, birds, turtles, and pups! So many flowers—the grass is well maintained and it’s just a really beautiful place.
Most people along the trail are friendly and have proper bike riding etiquette. I’ve run into a few rude people too but that doesn’t take away from the beauty and overall good experience of this place.
The Press Cafe serves delicious food! It’s pricey and always busy, but the layout makes it so it feels less crowded.
Nothing but good things to say about this place.

I’ve been walking the trails along Trinity River for years, and it’s one of my favorite places to go. It’s a safe, well-maintained area that offers both paved and gravel trails—something I really appreciate, since everyone has their own preference for walking or running surfaces. The trails stretch for miles, offering beautiful views and plenty of space to enjoy nature without feeling crowded. This spot has something for everyone.
There’s also plenty of parking, with a paved lot closer to the entrance and a larger gravel area just a short walk away that easily accommodates more cars. It’s a great setup that makes getting in and out really convenient.

This was fun AH, no joke. The bikes were on the pricey side, but the experience was amazing. Bring your own bike, amd hit the trail early before noon and its cool with beautiful views. Stay hydrated and safe.

Love coming to this area. It's right next to Trinity trail. Dog friendly. You could always bring your pets to take them on walks. Recently went to check out press Cafe. The food's good. The patio was great. People were friendly

I've been coming to the Clearfork Trailhead near Press Cafe since the pandemic, and it's been amazing to watch how much the area has transformed over the years. The improvements to the trailhead and parking lot have made it even more enjoyable—it's so easy to get in and out, which definitely can't be said for a lot of similar spots.
Whether you're running, biking, or just out for a relaxing nature stroll, the trail has something for everyone. It's one of my go-to places to unwind. I even had my engagement photos taken there one “Winter”—the scenery was perfect.
Speaking of…if you're there in the winter, I highly recommend grabbing a cocktail and sitting out on the patio at Press Cafe. It's cozy, scenic, and such a nice way to wrap up a trail walk. This spot has a special place in my heart!

Stopped here during our 20 mile ride for some breakfast at Press Cafe, strolled over to the local bike shop, Bike Mart, formerly known as Mellow Johnny's, bought a gravel bike, and just hung out on the wonderful grass area and watched families play together! Very relaxing spot that has it all really...
