It is named after the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (MKT or "Katy"), parts of which the trail occupies. This scenic trail offers city dwellers and visitors alike a peaceful escape from urban life, featuring beautiful landscapes, recreational opportunities, and periodically, art installations that enhance its charm and appeal. The trail's integration into Dallas’s urban fabric makes it a prime example of how cities can preserve historical landmarks while providing valuable green spaces.
