Where Old Meets New
Fort Worth, a bustling city in Texas, is a place where the past and present converge to create a unique and vibrant culture. From the iconic cowboy traditions and formative days of the Chisholm Trail to the Fort Worth Stockyards, the modern-day arts scene, and all the changes around the Mercantile Plaza, there is much to explore.
As a locally based moving company in Fort Worth, we are proud to be a part of this heritage and everything that stems from it. Not only do we call this city home, but the Trinity River is also a major part of our day-to-day lives. Stretching 710 miles from the Red River in far northern Texas down to an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, the Trinity River plays a vital role in Fort Worth’s water supply and the places that surround it. Whether you are new to Fort Worth or have been around for a while and are looking to explore, here are our top 5 spots along the Trinity that may open your eyes to a part of town you have yet to see.
Join us on a journey to discover the rich tapestry of this dynamic Texan city, where old meets new in exciting and unexpected ways.
This part of Fort Worth took on the name Panther Island in 1875, and has since thrived as one of the area’s hubs. First on the list of things to do on Panther Island is Backwoods Paddlesports. They offer everything for those who like to be in or around the water, including a sandy beach for those who just want to take in the day with a tan. They also have canoes, single kayaks, double kayaks, and paddle boards for those who want to hit the water. For those who like to live a little, the Panther Island Pavilion hosts events almost every weekend, from wine tastings and bike races to country music stars and hip hop artists. Also on the list of must-visit spots in Fort Worth is Panther Island Brewing. Family-owned and operated, they have a passion for making craft beer using only the finest ingredients and a brewing process that takes time and care. Their goal is to create a unique and enjoyable experience for each customer. Stop by and try one of their delicious hand-crafted beers!
HG SPLY CO. Fort Worth
Now for the restaurant that made our list of spots to check out while riding the trails on the Trinity—HG SPLY CO. Fort Worth. In our opinion, this place has the best view of the Trinity River from their back deck, and their food is nothing to complain about! If you are a burger fan, you have got to make this your next stop. And for those who just have to have veggies, their honey-Brussels sprouts are the bee’s knees! Taking pride in a minimally processed and well-portioned menu, they offer an amazing all-in-one experience for eating out.
Martin House Brewing Company
At the top of our list is Martin House Brewing Company. This place is tucked away in town and has much to offer, including a huge taproom with over 25 beers on tap. The only regret you may have is that you might not be able to try them all! With never-ending reviews on how amazing the staff are, we can’t help but back our fellow Texans in what they do. So whether you are curious about their well-known “Sour Pickle Beer” or just wondering if “The Salty Lady Gose” has what it takes to quench your thirst, we hope you have a great time!
We hope this gives you a few more options when it comes to checking out what Fort Worth’s Trinity Trails area has to offer. And we look forward to seeing you around town.
