The trinity is either, dry, very shallow (most of the time), or deep because of alot of rain.
But it's still a river, which flows all the way to the gulf. I get what your saying, but when there is water. It's a nice view.

It was literally about an acre with the entire shoreline consisting of a condensed layer of bird poop. I still marvel at what they consider a lake down there.

Um, no...it's 23 acres.

How does that make it any less of a lake
Lake - definition of Lake by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Some of you northeners use the word "real" to loosely

Let's help him understand what a "waterfront" actually is...

It's not simply a nearby river or lake...these are waterfronts:

This IS NOT a waterfront...it's simply a large city with a river nearby:

Man. That's not what the river looks like on a normal day. That picture was from a time when the area received alot of rain. But the river is mostly shallow or just dry. Dallas downtown does is not on a body of water.

The City of Dallas will soon have a lake beside the trinity river. With other projects like the bridges and parks and etc to complement the lake it would look really nice!



This is the lake and bridges when completed
