TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

reviewed by bikecowboy on May 4, 2011

Rode this trail today. It has some pretty hard climbs for La especially in the areas close to the water. There was a ton of dried leaves covering the trail making it pretty tough to make the short steep climbs. Overall it was an interesting trail. Short steep climbs and some decent downhills but not much opportunity to get real speed because of tight twisty turns that kept shutting me down but I was able to get a good workout. Had trouble finding the trailhead so for anyone going make sure you turn in on the road going to the hotel and golf course. The trailhead will be on the right just before you get to the clubhouse. The trail is directional and marked pretty well.

Stayed at Cypress Bend with my wife for the weekend. Only got to do one lap of the Hercules Loop on the bike and ran it on foot twice. Several challenging climbs and nice downhills. Trail has a nice flow to it both on the bike and on foot. Loved it. Highly recommended.

My friend and brother and I went to this trail thinking it would be fairly short. But that is not the case. This trail is for very serious riders and not untrained riders as we had to walk most of the hills at some point as we did not have the legs for it. It was a good ride but was ruff and we had two flats as it is rocky. So if you ride the trail be prepared for a challenge for louisiana.

Similar Trail: Chicot State Park = Great lenth about 22 miles total riding. Not the best transiton from downhill to ditches but fun long ride. Sam Houston Jones State Park = Great hour ride close to home and very well maintained as it is a popular spot. It is not difficult but a good ride.
