Description: Roughly six miles of singletrack loops. Well maintained without being overly invasive. On church owned property. Church has generously offered use of facilities for restroom/water. Waiver required to ride. Available at kiosk at trailhead or www.dorba2.com. Great views and boasts the highest elevation in Dallas.
Orange is a nice beginner loop winding through the trees.
White is the central loop that connects all the other loops. There are some very fast runs, moderately technical areas, and some serious climbs.
Blue is a short fast winding run down the hill, then the climb back up the main drive to the trailhead.
Yellow is the most technical loop with some dips connected by switchbacks.
Green is a nice easy loop with some mild dips and minimal climbing.
Red is for those who like to climb. Lots of climbing and lots of switchback climbs.
Near the trail head there is a downhill area for experts only. There is a ramp to a platform giving you what looks like a 7 or 8 foot drop into the trail. I haven't ridden this (yet).
There are some dirt jumps for BMXers.
They have also stacked some huge rocks for a trials area.
Something for everyone here. It's up to you how far you want to push yourself any given day.

I moved down here coming from a very hilly state (Michigan) and ive tryed a ton of trails down here and was disapointed in the technicality of them. So when i came here i wasnt expecting much. To my suprise this was one of the Funnest trails ive ever rode. I have done all the trails . VERY GOOD.

Only rode the Ranger loop, but I look forward to the rest of the loops. there are some really good climbs, fun semi technical down hill sections, and one long fast down hill. there is a downhill course and some of the loops are marked expert. It also has a short one mile beginner loop that is good for newer rider lacking much endurance.

This is a great little trail. It has some tough, sudden, short climbs, and lots of quick turns in the trees. There are a few tough downhill switchbacks and a couple of open meadow sprints. When I rode it, the conditions were extremely dry, making the earth loose and unstable. If Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort isn't a black diamond - neither is this ride.

Road the white trail. First long ride on new 29r but did not get to go on all the trails due to time and experience level of the group. Closest thing to Hill Country/Austin terrain I have seen in DFW.

This trail is now around 8 miles and growing. Great views. Also there is work being done some new Dirt jumps. Please Don't Ride Muddy Trails.
