What a great place! I am usually riding trails in and around Houston but since we were having a sales meeting and everyone went to play golf, I thought I go for a ride. I m not use to all the loose rocks but it made it a little more challenging. Put in about 5 miles and took a break and them headed back out again.

I wrote a review for this park several months ago, but not sure why its no longer posted here. I was just there yesterday and would like to reiterate what I said in my first review. This is a lousy park for mountain biking. VERY FLAT AND BORING! If you seek a nature walk, then this may be your cup if tea then. Take a map along and water to drink as the trails are very long and winding. The highlight for the evening was definitely the hogs we saw after dark on the roadsides. Lots of them! This would also not be the place to just let your children roam free as the place is very "closed in" feeling and sprawling. Always know their whereabouts. The alligators can often be VERY close to the trails and it seems like a bit too close to have small children wandering unsupervised.

Completed this trail on Mother's Day. It's one of my favorites. Have done it twice now and really enjoy it. It's a good starter trail. It's a little rocky at places but that's the best part. It challenges you just enough. Lots of great scenery. Will have to try it in the fall. May is still cool enough and the green with the white from the river bed is a nice contrast and make for some great pics.

Love this trail! Lots of shade along the way and the wildflowers are blooming. The sign from the Old Alton Bridge side does says pets on leashes in response to one of the reviews I see here that say pets are not allowed. Glad I found this one. It's a nice change from paved trails near Denton.

Good place to go if you want a long distance workout. I have hiked all 47 miles of trails throughout the place. More than 50% is very rocky and hard on your feet so wear double socks or use padded shoe inserts. You will wish you had if you go over 8 miles here.

Another great ride today! I usually try to hit this trail at least twice a week. Been riding the inside bike trails but today found the outer bike trail. Rode 6 miles and found a lot more obstacles to navigate.

Agreed. Trail markers are few and far between. More on the technical side. Lots of loose rocks and roots. Make sure your handlebars are trimmed down.

This is a very nice new park/ hiking trail-- make sure that you stay on the planned heavily trailed areas or you can end up in the middle of some brush on a tiny trail that ends to no where with apparent homeless person camp out area. This trail also has a huge dog park attached to it

This drive is Loop 375 over the Franklin Mountains, connecting Interstate 10 and US 54. A nice state park is up in the mountains. Nice drive.
