The Colony's outdoor network includes shore-side routes along Lewisville Lake and trails through developed neighborhoods. The Colony Shoreline Trail has entrances near Stewart Creek Park and Ridgepoint Park. The Cascades and Grandscape connector provides another kind of route, linking to a commercial entertainment area. The Tribute Shoreline Trail follows a separate peninsula setting rather than the same stretch of shoreline.

These routes have different surfaces and starting points, so nearby addresses should be compared against a particular trail entrance. The official visitor guide identifies Shoreline Trail parking just outside the entrances to both Stewart Creek Park and Ridgepoint Park. Use its maps to distinguish the lake-side paths, neighborhood routes, and Grandscape connection, then check current trail and park information before planning an outing or describing a property as trail-accessible.

### Places to know

**The Colony Shoreline Trail.** A Lewisville Lake route reached near Stewart Creek Park and Ridgepoint Park.

**Cascades and Grandscape connector.** A walking and cycling connection to The Colony's entertainment area.

**The Tribute Shoreline Trail.** A separate trail following The Tribute peninsula.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Compare the address with the Shoreline Trail's actual entrances near Stewart Creek and Ridgepoint parks.
- Confirm which trail and surface a listing refers to; the main Shoreline Trail, Tribute route, and Grandscape connector are distinct.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
