The West Fork flows eastward through the city of Fort Worth while the Clear Fork flows northeastward through Fort Worth; the two forks meet near downtown. The Elm Fork flows south from near Gainesville, Texas and east of the city of Denton. Those two rivers merge as they enter the city of Dallas and form the Trinity River proper.

Plans for a shipping channel along the length of the Trinity River were scrapped, as they would have required extensive dredging to make the river navigable, though several overpasses were built at very high clearances in anticipation of the channel being built. There are, however, current plans being developed to turn the Trinity River flood zone in downtown Dallas into the nation's largest urban park [1]. A map of the planned park system can be found here.
The Elm Fork of the Trinity rises in eastern Montague County and flows southeast eighty-five miles, through Cooke and Denton counties, to a confluence with the West Fork, which forms the TrinityRiver proper a mile west of downtown Dallas in central Dallas County (at 32°48' N, 96°52' W).
