I expect that most of the non-creek sections south of 183 will probably just be a redesign of Shoal Creek Blvd. In fact, I'd expect that the only actually on-the-creek sections north of 38th will be The Grove, between Hancock & 2222, Northwest Park, and between Anderson & ~Steck. Outside of that, the area is too residential, too wealthy/politically involved, and too close to the creek to warrant even attempting to put it on the creek itself.
North of 183 until to the Domain will definitely be the piece of the puzzle (probably along Neils Thompson, which is already planned to be a pedestrian connection thru the Pickle Campus to the Domain as noted above by Novacek) that starts to extend dense residential and commercial development south of the Pickle Campus. However, these northern sections of the potential hike and bike trail are probably a good 10+ years off from construction, so let's not hold our breaths in the meantime.
