Summary:
From Arroyo Park follow the sidewalk north and down to the Arroyo Colorado and cross the wooden slat bridge. This portion is part of a 4 mile paved double track hiking and biking trail managed by the City's Park and Recreation Department. After crossing the bridge over the Arroyo Colorado you'll see a large sign on your right called 'The Thicket'. Several trailheads start about 100 feet further down the open dirt and up the hill. You'll find numerous short, tight, and twisty single track with short climbs and exciting downhills. Do wear a long sleeve shirt due to the tightness of the trail and the heavy thorny vegetation. No wonder it's called The Thicket.

Recommended Route:
Off of Highway 83 in Harlingen take the F Street Exit and stay on the south frontage road until you reach New Hampshire Street. Go left underneath the overpass (1/2 mile) until you run into Arroyo Park.
