Panther Island peninsula and Trinity River Vision

Panther Island is a landform bounded by the West and Clear Forks of the Trinity River adjacent to downtown Fort Worth and currently functions as a peninsula. The area is the focus of the Panther Island/Trinity River Vision, a long-term flood-control and redevelopment project that proposes constructing a diversion channel intended to convert the peninsula into an island. The site's peninsula/island status is a direct result of the Trinity River's branching and engineered riverworks in the urban landscape.
