This trail built in a utility easement is the second longest continuous trail in the city and serves as a major north/south route. However, trail users have to cross six major roadways, as well as several smaller roadways. Along the route there are several parks including Rasor, Carpenter, and Preston Meadow and the trail intersects with the Bluebonnet and Legacy Trails.

Positive aspects of the trail is that it provides a continuous north/south route through the city and there is an opportunity to extend the trail further south within the easement in the future. There is also a well-landscaped, attractive parking lot near the southern terminus of the trail that is a benefit for trail users coming by car. Finally, there is a bike repair station in Carpenter Park near where the Preston Ridge and Bluebonnet trails intersect.
