Marion Sansom Park Brings Lake Worth Bluffs and Trail Views

Tarrant County The Great Outdoors

Marion Sansom Park has a wilder feel than many Fort Worth parks. It sits at 2501 Roberts Cut Off Road on the northwest side, near Lake Worth.

The draw is the landscape. Wooded trails climb to bluff views over the lake, with remnant Fort Worth Prairie up top and longer views of the water below.

The interlocking loops are popular for hiking and mountain biking, with easier and harder sections off the main rim trail. For River Oaks, Sansom Park, and Lake Worth, it is a real local landscape note.
