I'm a native of Plano, not too far from Corinth, but far enough that I needed to outsource a little bit to draw some inferences on the meaning of this space the the community. Conveniently enough, the trail head is in the corner of the parking lot of Corinth City Hall. I figured if anybody knew a little bit more, they did. I found enough friendly-looking civic workers and pamphlets to get some answers:
The trail sits in between 3 really key parts of a Corinthian's life. Obviously City Hall represents an important facet of their community, and also an unusual starting place for a multi-purpose trail. City Hall represents law, responsibility, and duty in this community. Directly behind this building and bordering the back half of the trail system is a series of soccer fields, football fields, and baseball diamonds. This one one of my favorite parts of riding during afternoon hours. If you're taking your ride too seriously, try to keep that going after watching a herd of kindergartners try to play football. It's a great part of the trail to remember the youthful feeling you get flying down hills and not being quite the best at what you're doing but having fun with it anyway. The final border of the park is the new Denton County transit project "Rail Trail", literally sidewalks bordering their entire light rail track. Corinth is working pretty hard to meet the fitness and health needs of their community in all of these active ways.
