Cycling the Fort Worth Stockyards
The Fort Worth Stockyards is one of Texas's most iconic destinations, and cycling through it offers a unique perspective on Fort Worth's Western heritage. Here's how to plan a memorable ride.
The Route
Start at the Trinity Trails and head north toward the Stockyards district. The Stockyards Heritage Trail connects the river trail system to the historic district, making it easy to incorporate into a longer ride. The route passes historic brick buildings, Western-themed storefronts, and the famous cattle drive area.
What to See
The Stockyards is packed with attractions. Ride past the historic Livestock Exchange Building, see the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, and time your ride to catch the twice-daily cattle drive. There are plenty of restaurants and shops if you want to stop and explore.
Tips for Riding in the Stockyards
The area can be crowded with tourists, especially on weekends. Ride slowly and be prepared to walk your bike in the busiest sections. Early mornings are best for a peaceful ride. Lock your bike securely if you stop — use a U-lock, not just a cable lock.
