Description: Small texas hill country mesas, viewed through a network of double track gravel road and single track. The Yogi Bear cabins are a fun place to stay if you are doing a several day trip as they are right on the water. Not too much shade on the trails and it gets hott in the summer so come prepared.
Get your pass and map at the HQs and park at the Trailhead Equestrian Camp Area. From there even beginners won't have much problem on Wilderness Trail (1), but as you get closer to Ice Cream Hill leave it to those with more experience as the terrain gets a bit more rocky and loose. Many spots on Spring Branch & Spring Run (6 & 6a) will require you to carry your bike, but that's part of MTBin'. The multiple low water crossings are fun and the trails over-all are a nice challenge for all levels.
note: full suspension is a definite benefit here
note: Actual name is Hill Country State Natural Area (SNA)
You must share the trail with horses, although the day I went I was the only one there.
Not a lot of shade cover.
If there is a saving grace it would be the fun creek crossing.
There is a hose for washing off your horse. I used it on my bike and myself
