COURSE DESCRIPTION
Rowlett Creek Preserve trail is located in the city of Garland’s public multi-use park at the intersection of Castle and Centerville Roads.  The trail is currently over 15 miles long and since it is built on a staked loop system a trail user can choose various loop combinations to obtain distances that vary from 1 to 15 miles.  The direction of travel for all loops is CLOCKWISE.  About half of the trail mileage is in the trees with some areas that are tight and twisty.  The rest is out in open with some fast, straight field sections.  Most of the trail is flat with only a few relatively short climbs.  There are a number of areas of the trail that come close to an edge mainly along one of the three creeks that pass through the RCP greenbelt.
