Marine Creek Lake Park is about to get even better with the construction of a new trailhead. Tarrant Regional Water District is working on a $500,000 renovation that will add a new trail to the park’s Ten Mile Bridge area on the western side of the lake.

Set to open in September, the new park amenities will feature:

  • A pavilion with picnic tables
  • A kayak and canoe launch
  • A paved parking area
  • Restrooms
  • Controlled entry and exit gates
  • Lighting
  • Designated open and closed hours for safety

Construction kicked off on April 22, closing the existing parking area, but the six-mile Marine Creek loop trail will remain open throughout the renovations. Lakegoers can currently access the water from the boat ramp and docks on east side of the lake.
