Quick ride by bicycle from Dallas to Highland Park

Here’s a relaxed ride from downtown Dallas up to chic Highland Park. Starting in the heart of Big D, you’ll cruise northwards, with most of your ride on smooth concrete and paved paths—so it’s easy-rolling almost all the way. The route snakes through quieter areas, making for a more enjoyable, low-traffic pedal as you leave the city’s bustle behind.

You’ll gain a bit of elevation (nothing too tough!), and if you’re into green scenery, you’re in luck—this neighborhood is known for its beautiful tree-lined streets and elegant homes. Highland Park itself is one of Dallas’s prettiest—and priciest—enclaves, with lush parks and iconic Turtle Creek nearby.

This route’s great if you’re looking for a quick escape from the downtown rush to somewhere quieter, and the mix of paths and quiet roads makes for a relaxing urban adventure. Don’t forget to check out Highland Park Village at the end—it’s a historic shopping spot and perfect for a snack or coffee before you head back!
