Trails

Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge has about 10 miles of PRIMITIVE trails scattered over five tracts. Since the refuge is primarily bottomland hardwood forest, most of it floods or has standing rainwater at various times during the year. Except for mowing, blading, or fallen tree removal, little can be done to improve these dirt trails. Be prepared to get your shoes muddy during the wet times. Some trails are loops while others are straight in and out. Most trails do not have any markers on them at this time, but maps can be downloaded from the links below.

The Champion Lake Public Use Area map does not show a trail, but you can walk along a 3,000-foot levee or visit via short trail located behind the butterfly/hummingbird garden.
