The Northeast Texas Trail
The East Texas Weekend Preview — Embark on 133 miles of solid pavement, dirt paths, bustling towns and serene nature.
Or just casually stroll a tiny portion of it like we did.
The longest hiking and biking trail in the state actually resides right here in East Texas!
Following two old railroad lines, the Northeast Texas Trail connects New Boston (just West of Texarkana) and Farmersville (Northeast of the DFW Metroplex.)
Open 24/7, the NETT welcomes cyclists, hikers, and in some sections horseback riders, to trek this massive pedestrian highway.

The East Texas trailhead is located in the heart of New Boston. During our morning walk we got to greet and meet tons of locals enjoying their morning exercise.
While the urban stops are populated, the majority of the trail is rural. A perfect way to see the true beautiful of the region in its natural state.
Bike NETT is a super helpful organization offering an interactive map of the trail, as well as info on towns and services.
*Due to the trail passing through tons of rural landscapes, it is possible for various blockages to happen and other events that may effect the trial’s condition. So, as always, use caution and be ready for detours.
Begin an unforgettable trek this weekend on the Northeast Texas Trail!
