Summary:
Great training trail for a weekend getaway from Austin, San Marcos and San Antonio. Nice flow, and good shade for the most part. Beautiful vistas and the lake is nearby for a quick cool down. Bueno....

Summary:
nice trail....intermediate mostly. the 2 mi. section adjacent to TH would take advanced rider to finise the whole section. lots of opportunities to take air. lots of short ledges to jump up. probably one of the funnest 2 mi. of trial in texas.

section parallel to road from north to south loops should be called Stegasauras Spine as it is one long rock garden.

8 mi. total. 2 mi. advanced. 70% shade. TH sign and map. no markers on trail. easy to navigate.

good, fun, ride.

Summary:
Nice trail. Twists, turns, small drops, small climbs, lots of hard pack, a few rock gardens, and lots of trees. I was able to ride most of it on a rigid single speed. Some gears and suspension would be fun on this trail. It reminded me a lot of Muleshoe.

Summary:
This is a great trail to ride and is very unique. Imagine just riding through an rough undeveloped area in the Hill Country. The ride is like a new exploration even though there are some areas of the trail that man power was used to make it look like a trail.There are some nice jumps and a few technical spots. I would recommend that you use a full suspension bike because the ride can get rough at times. The first time I road this trail I used a hardtail but it was pretty rough. Also bring an extra tubes because there are some very sharp rocks.

Recommended Route:
Only One way to go

Summary:
This is a nice trail. I also got lost in a few of the asphalt sections so a few more markers would be appreciated. I like the beginning and how the trailbuilders didn't wuss out about including the drops. They always make the trails more interesting in my opinion. Towards the end as you go along the boat storage is a bit sketchy but it is short lived and adds to the diversity of the trail.

There is now a pizza place in the strip center on the other side of the entrance. Good pizza. Nice guys running it.

Recommended Route:
The only way.
