White Rock Lake Spillway

Very scenic spot many locals walk and cycle on the trail. The lake is definitely larger than how it looked on the map.

Lovely multi-use trail that wraps around a local reservoir in Dallas. The spillway is also a beautiful geologic specimen of ancient limestone bedrock that sits beneath most of the region.

After a beautiful day of hard rain, I had to go see this place! Wish I could have stayed all day. Porta-Pottys are available in the parking areas. Watch out for bikers and enjoy the scenery.

First time coming to this spillway it was a great experience, there wasnt much waterflow but it was still nice.

White Rock Lake in Dallas, brimming with crystal-clear water, offers an idyllic retreat for anyone seeking respite from urban life. As you wander along its shores, you're greeted by the gentle lapping of waves and the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape. The expansive body of water provides a stunning backdrop for a myriad of activities, from leisurely boat rides to invigorating water sports. Whether you're kayaking under the radiant Texas sun or simply lounging on the shoreline, the tranquility of the lake envelops you in a sense of calm. Wildlife thrives in this aquatic haven, with graceful swans gliding across the surface and colorful fish darting beneath the water's surface. Families picnic on the grassy banks, while cyclists and joggers traverse the scenic trails that encircle the lake. Despite its urban setting, White Rock Lake feels like a world apart—a sanctuary where time slows down and nature reigns supreme. For those in search of a slice of paradise in the heart of Dallas, look no further than the pristine waters of White Rock Lake.

Really not much to it. Not like you can go stick your feet in it and cool off during a hot summer day. Parking lot is to small for all the people that want to run or cycle around the lake. Trash all over the place. Nasty gas stations across the street. Yeah this place is nothing more than a landmark.

Really great place to go take pictures and walk and just relax. Beautiful views. I really recommend this for a family getaway. There are several points to enter. Parking can be free.. if you have time, you can visit the Dallas arboretum. Which is very beautiful and popular here among the locals. Great place to exercise, bike rides, or simply a nice long walk.
